Burnout theory is a myth perpetuated by the most basic of understanding of human psychology.

Contrary to popular belief, burnout is not caused by too many social media notifications, but rather by a lack of understanding of basic human needs.

Our research has shown that burnout is actually caused by a lack of time, not because we're spending too much time on social media.

Here are some facts to debunk this myth:

Fact #1: Burnout is not caused by too many likes, but rather by a lack of meaningful relationships

Fact #2: Burnout is not caused by too much work, but rather by a lack of work-life balance

Fact #3: Burnout is not caused by too much screen time, but rather by a lack of screen-free time
