My name is Ciara Broujos and throughout my time as a student and working professional I have suffered the ill effects of ‘burnout’. Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress often from working long hours without taking breaks. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands. On researching further into the topic of burnout, I found that it is a major problem in today’s society amongst employees all over the globe and can greatly affect their mental and physical health. This project aims to incorporate a work-rest system into the daily routines of working professionals by encouraging them to participate in short mental and physical exercises in order to preserve their health. In doing so it helps the employee in feeling less tired and more productive. Not only does this project benefit the average employee by giving their brains frequent rest periods but it also benefits their employers by improving the employee’s overall work performance.
