It's quite normal to see quite different readings for burnout, stress, and fatigue in your wellness check, and it doesn’t mean it’s off with the calculations. Each of these metrics is designed to function independently of the others in order to give you a clearer picture of various aspects of your wellbeing. For instance, it's possible to feel the pressures of work or life (high burnout and stress scores) while still feeling physically energetic if you're getting good rest or managing your physical health well. On the flip side, you might feel physically tired not because of stress or burnout, but perhaps due to a busy day or a recent workout. Remember, these metrics also naturally fluctuate at different paces; while fatigue can fluctuate within a day based on how rested you feel and how long it’s been since you woke up, burnout typically evolves over a longer period of days or even weeks, reflecting ongoing challenges. It’s all part of understanding not only how you respond to situations in your life in general, but also your unique situation right now — you're definitely not alone in seeing such variations!
