Comment on Ask HN: How do you know if you're burnt out or just being lazy?parent

Burnout is this weird concept that developers have invented to describe "I can't be bothered to keep going"

You are not serious, or you haven't been through a burnout. A burnout is probably not due to a lot of work, but to bad conditions/results/consequences. You can get burnt out without working (or working too little), and burn out is more than "I can't keep going". It's a mind disturbing thing and can be quite serious and lead to a depression.
