I think I'm on the edge of burnout. Has anyone been through this? (old.reddit.com)

I'm basically a one-person marketing department. I handle PR, Google Ads, event planning, product marketing, budgeting, content, agencies... pretty much everything marketing-related.

Lately I've been making really stupid mistakes that I never used to make—sending emails with the wrong information, forgetting small details, mixing up files. It feels like my brain is just overloaded.

I've tried talking to my boss about my workload, but instead of getting lighter, it just keeps growing.

I actually enjoy my job and don't want to quit impulsively but I'm starting to dread opening my laptop every morning because I feel like I'm constantly one mistake away from dropping the ball.

And my boss is pushing hard for results immediately

Has anyone else been in this position? Did it get better, or did you eventually have to leave?

Does you job allows planning? You know, "Today I need to do A, B, C"? Make a list, follow it. Helps with a huge pile of tiny tasks tremendously. And don't rush. Is it your business? No? So whose problem that something is impossible to be done during working hours? Correct -- not yours.
