I think we need to be realistic, life sometimes hands us a perfect storm of energy drainers. While these are good prescriptions there are life crises that defy this burnout prescription. For example when your job is about to be axed while your teen is on suicide watch, your father is dying and your mother is tired enough that the hospital staff is warning you she is the next crisis you will deal with. Minimal sleep, vending machine nutrition, can't avoid your toxic boss, and constant worry about so many people....
No time for burnout, but it teaches you to find your inner core of strength and gets you through what life hands you after all that.
Yes, life can be quiet challenging and tough at times, but in the end it's up to us to how we respond to external things: we can always find some time and space to step back, find some inner peace and engage in things that fill us up or at least replenish some of energy.
