33 Avoiding Burnout

Published on: 12th September, 2022

Burnout.  Exhaustion. It's a thing, but is it always a bad thing?

In this episode, I talk about:

★ how I avoid it or reverse out of it before it gets bad
★ why it might not always be a bad thing
★  actions you can take to do things like reduce your working week

Something that Andrea highlighted in episode 29 , is that burnout can sometimes feel good if you choose where to put your time and energy. 

But, having said all of that,  we can work more effectively and efficiently, and importantly, more on our terms.

One thing I forgot to mention in my episode is a small thing I do which has a big impact.

I use a different email address to sign up to marketing material, newsletters etc.  

That way, it doesn't clutter my main email, and I can visit them when I choose to.

And this, I've found, means I actually get use out of my sign ups.

  • I take part in challenges I've signed up to.
  • I think about the useful info someone has sent me.
  • I know what to unsubscribe from because I don't need it, not because it's making my inbox too noisy.

As always, reach out if you need any support, but in the meantime, happy listening.

Enjoy!
