A burnout tracker that catches the spiral early
By Bottle Me
Burnout sneaks up as a slow energy drain while mood stays superficially fine — until the crash. Tracking energy separately from mood is the early-warning system.
Energy is the leading indicator
Mood is a lagging indicator of burnout; energy is the leading one. A two-axis colour entry — palette for mood, texture for energy — catches the drain weeks before the collapse.
Saturation tells the story
Low-saturation, heavy-texture bottles cluster on burnout days. Scroll the timeline and the descent is visible: colour draining out of the week, then the crash.
No productivity scoring
The tool never grades your output or rewards pushing through. Its only job is showing you the depletion curve honestly, so you can act earlier.
Frequently asked questions
- Is burnout a medical condition?
- Occupational burnout is recognised in ICD-11; this app is a self-tracking aid, not a diagnostic tool.
- What should I track?
- Mood colour, energy texture and one optional line about the day.
- Can I show it to my doctor?
- The visual timeline can support conversations with clinicians, though there is no CSV export.
