📝Instrumental/Professional mix is the best for burnout prevention

tags: § Burnout

In Gerchikov’s motivation model, the Instrumental/Professional mix is the best for § Burnout prevention.

Professionals burn out when the tasks are not interesting/challenging enough. (You can’t ensure your tasks will always be challenging.) In these cases, it’s good to start Instrumentalist motivation, and do the work because you’re well-paid for it.
