Burnout Stage Self-Audit
For legal professionals. Three minutes, and nobody needs your email address to see the result.
Burnout does not arrive on a single bad day. It builds in stages, and each stage has a pattern you can learn to recognise. Most legal professionals only notice it at the third one, when the cost is highest and the recovery is longest.
Thirty statements follow. Tick the ones you recognise in yourself at the moment, thinking about the past month rather than your worst week or your best one.
- TimeAbout three minutes
- FormatThirty statements, in three short parts
- PrivacyYour answers stay in your own browser. Nothing is sent to us, and nothing is stored on our side.
- Best useReturn to it each quarter. The value is in the change over time
This is a self-audit built for professional performance, not a clinical assessment, and it cannot diagnose anything. If the signs are persistent or getting worse, a doctor or psychologist is the right place to take them.
Tick every statement you recognise. Leave the rest.

Keep the result, and the next step with it
We will send you the audit as a printable page you can return to each quarter, together with the short reading list for your stage. One email a week after that, on how legal professionals think, decide and hold up under pressure. You can leave at any time.
