Burnout

The Cycle

• Yellow: What is happening.
• Purple: What allies can do to help.
• Orange: What you can change.

Prevention

Step 1: Know the Signs:

Are you experiencing any of these right now?

Step 2: Respond to the Stage Appropriately

i.e. Learning to say no during the hyperfixation stage.

Step 3: Build Burnout Prevention Habits

• Inemuri - Dr.Brigitte Steger describes it as “Sleeping while present… captures Japan’s approach to time, where it’s seen as possible to do multiple things simultaneously, if at a lower intensity. So you can get credit for attending that boring quarterly sales meeting while also dreaming of a beach vacation.”

Solutions

• Meditation
• Massotherapy
