This fundamentally changed the way I’m managing my burnout and handling my stress.

Reading the headlines from the New York Times this week on record levels of burnout and struggle around the globe as we come into 2021, my thought was simply: ugh.

And yes. A new calendar page helps to signal to our brains and rational-selves the passing of time, but it doesn’t help with how it feels when the context around us looks remarkably like yesterday (or for many folks, even harder than yesterday).

My mind was blown by the insightful and useful work by Drs. Emily and Amelia Nagosaki on “burnout." It has fundamentally changed the way I’m structuring my days and my own habits around managing stress.
