It seems like they’re using burnout as a stand-in for “stress” in this case. The article doesn’t do a very good job of elaborating on what that means exactly and it seems like the quote might be missing context. TBF Josh Sawyer isn’t exactly known for being able to convey an idea with brevity.
Stress can be for a few days or weeks or months. Burnout is a months and years thing. It’s the result of chronic stress. You can just get a mental block and cannot even touch or look at something. It may make you unable to do the work you once did. The mind can shut down for self preservation. Even after years of recovery you may not be the same person.
