You can burn out when you're working from home, too

Updated: April 20, 2020

Workplace burnout doesn't just happen to people who put in long hours at the office. It's also a threat to the millions of people working from home due to the coronavirus pandemic.

工作倦怠不仅仅发生在那些在办公室工作时间长的人身上。由于冠状病毒的流行，这对数百万在家工作的人来说也是一个威胁。

Burnout happens when you face elevated levels of stress over a long period of time. It can affect both your mental and physical health.

当你长时间面对高水平的压力时，就会感到精疲力竭。它会影响你的身心健康。

With so many workers suddenly working from home and juggling multiple responsibilities, they could be more prone to burnout.

这么多工人突然在家工作，同时还要承担多重责任，他们可能更容易精疲力竭。

"With the suddenness and degree of the shift to remote work, the loss of childcare, and all of the worries that accompany the pandemic and its economic fallout, all of the things that typically cause burnout are intensified, which means the risk of burnout is intensified," said Vanessa K. Bohns, associate professor of organizational behavior at Cornell University via email.

康奈尔大学组织行为学副教授Vanessa K.Bohns通过电子邮件说：“由于转移到远程工作的程度和突然性，儿童保育的缺失，以及伴随对大流行病及其经济后果的担忧，所有通常导致倦怠的事都会加剧，这意味着倦怠的风险亦会加剧。”

These are the risk factors: boundaries disappear, a lack of control, the stress of wanting to be the 'perfect worker', missing social connections, not taking time for you

这些就是风险因素：边界消失、缺乏控制、想成为“完美员工”的压力、社交关系缺失、不为自己花时间。
