Recover
Burnout Reset Kit
A practical workbook for when you’re burnt out but still have to work.
I can’t keep doing this. I also can’t just stop.
This is for the gap between those two sentences — where most burnout advice quietly assumes you have an option you don’t have.
You don’t have to work through all 110 pages. Start with the few that fit this week and leave the rest.

Is this for you?
- You know burnout is part of the problem, but you still have to function while you recover.
- You have very little spare capacity for another complicated plan.
- Everything feels important, and you need help deciding what actually comes first.
- “Rest more” may be sensible advice, but it isn’t enough of a plan for the week you still have to get through.
Can I recover from burnout while still working?
Sometimes — but continuing to work and continuing exactly as you are are not the same thing.
Recovery may mean reducing demands, protecting some capacity, changing how work is organised, getting clearer about what can wait, or asking for changes to hours, duties or support.
The Reset Kit is built for that middle ground: when stopping altogether isn’t realistic, but continuing in exactly the same way isn’t sustainable either.
What this helps you do
Stabilise enough to think
Start with the immediate problem rather than trying to solve your whole life while depleted.
Reduce the load
Work out what can wait, what needs protecting and where unnecessary demand can be reduced.
Protect the capacity you have
Use practical boundaries, workload decisions and workplace tools while your reserves are low.
Build towards something more sustainable
Pace recovery, notice when capacity is returning and plan what needs to be different as work increases again.
What you get
110-page PDF workbook
A workbook to write in and dip into, not a book to read cover to cover. You use only the pages you need.
Burnout Profile self-assessment
Fifteen statements to help you look at your result band and the pattern showing up most strongly.
Five stabilisation tools
Practical starting points for times when thinking, planning and decision-making are difficult.
Workplace survival tools
Workload reality checks, disclosure decisions, scripts and return-to-work planning.
Burnout Recovery Pathway
Stabilise → protect → pace → sustain, used flexibly rather than as rigid stages.
One-page plan + check-ins
Bring the important pieces together and notice when an old pattern starts creeping back in.
Inside the guide
Understand what burnout is doing
Burnout, workplace drivers and why simply pushing harder stops working.
Work out where you are now
Your Burnout Profile and where it makes sense to begin.
Get through the low-capacity periods
Practical stabilisation tools for the days when thinking itself feels expensive.
Make work more survivable
Workload reality checks, scripts, disclosure decisions and return-to-work planning.
Rebuild without another boom-and-bust cycle
Capacity, pacing, recovery and noticing when you may be doing too much too soon.
Keep the plan small enough to use
A one-page plan and simple check-ins rather than another system you have to maintain.
Take a look inside
Understand the pattern
Plain-English psychology that explains what may be happening and why recovery can be harder than “rest more”.
Make work more survivable
Practical pages for reducing load, protecting capacity and deciding what needs attention first.
Keep the plan usable
Tools designed to make the next step visible without creating another system to maintain.
How to use it
You are not meant to do all of it.
Use a few pages at a time, in whatever order you need them. There is no schedule and nothing you have to finish.
Exercises include a bare-minimum version, so a bad week does not mean you have fallen off the plan.
Pages to write on rather than read.

Questions before you buy
How do I get it?
Straight after payment, your download link appears on the order confirmation page, and the same link is emailed to you. Nothing is posted, and you don’t need to create an account.
Can I print it?
Yes. It is an A4 PDF, so you can use it on screen or print only the pages you want to write on. If you would rather have the whole workbook bound, there is also a paperback through Amazon Australia.
Is this therapy or a diagnosis?
No. Still Cracked is education, not treatment. The workbook can help you make sense of what is happening and plan practical next steps, but it does not assess or diagnose you. If you are struggling, your GP or a psychologist is a good place to start. If you are in crisis, call Lifeline on 13 11 14, or 000 in an emergency.
What if it isn’t what I need?
