In my experience, that seems accurate¹. Initially, I believed it was due to my ADHD, as the excitement of a new job fueled my work 100x. However, it now appears that ADHD was just an aggravating factor, causing my burnouts to be severe, occurring faster and lasting longer.

Every job I’ve had so far has resulted in burnout within 1 to 3 months of starting. The common denominator was that I detested both the tasks and the management. The sole motivation was the necessity to pay rent, which accounted for 3/4 of my monthly salary.

It’s been 7 months since I started here, and the only time I felt a slight burnout was when I crashed into a wall with one of my quests. But, I work for an incredible purpose with incredible people who celebrate both accomplishments and failures. I quickly recovered in days. I wake up each morning feeling joy from working, which was something I had never experienced before.

This is a great discovery that deserves more attention, thank you @kr.
