Spotting Burnout Signals with AI Before It Escalates
Burnout rarely arrives without warning. For neurodivergent teams juggling sensory overload and executive strain, spotting early signals is vital. AI can surface the patterns humans overlook.
Track Workload and Energy
Calendar heatmaps
Chaos maps meetings, focus blocks, and travel to show intensity spikes. CIPD research links workload forecasting to lower burnout rates.^[1]^
Energy check-ins
Schedule twice-weekly prompts asking “How’s your energy?” The assistant correlates responses with workload and flags weeks that need adjustment.
Monitor Micro-Behaviours
Follow-up delays
When email replies slow dramatically, Chaos surfaces a gentle heads-up: “You’ve delayed five follow-ups—can we lighten tomorrow?”
Break adherence
If you skip scheduled breaks from our dopamine menu, the assistant suggests a reset. Research shows micro-break compliance protects against cognitive depletion.^[2]^
Respond Compassionately
Adjust workload proactively
Once Chaos flags risk, reshuffle tasks or block recovery time. Share insights with managers using our burnout checklist.
Burnout prevention isn’t about heroics; it’s about consistent monitoring and responsive systems. Let AI spot the whispers before they become shouts.
