You don’t need a burnout diagnosis to know something’s wrong.
Here are 5 signs you’re trapped in grind culture:
1️⃣ You feel guilty when you rest.
Your brain thinks downtime = falling behind.
2️⃣ You’re always “catching up.”
No matter how much you do, your list grows faster.
3️⃣ You confuse busyness with progress.
12-hour days but nothing actually changes.
4️⃣ You need motivation to function.
You run on adrenaline, not systems.
5️⃣ Your work steals time from everything else.
Relationships, health, peace — all casualties.
The solution isn’t to push harder.
It’s to install better systems so life can move without you grinding for it.
This is why the Mini Map exists — to show you the exit.
