In this online talk, Will Allen-Mersh -- Partner at Spill -- will draw on both psychology research findings and Spill's own experience to unpick what's behind burnout and why so many of us experience it today. We'll cover how to spot it in both yourself and others, what the underlying causes are, how to recover from it, and then how to prevent it happening again. We'll be busting some of the big myths around burnout -- spoiler alert: it's not caused mainly by workload! -- and shedding new light on this phenomenon by better understanding why humans experience negative emotions at all. Finally, we'll look at boundaries and how we can better set and respect them as freelancers in order to work in a way that works for our own mental wellbeing.
