Synthesis: 1. Make your life binary - You are either working or not working - don't engage in grey zones - "Do what you are doing." 2. Know when you are done - Ask yourself "what does a good/productive day look like?" - after tackling that, shut off and go home 3. Get serious about recovery - Rest and restore ACTIVELY (do not just "nap" or do nothing) - Go play sports in a natural field, loose yourself up in sauna, take ice baths etc. - follow a serious protocol that enables recovery in a fundamental level while still demanding effort from yourself 4. Reframe your perception of stress - How you perceive stress modifies its effects on the body - If you believe stress will make you, it will make you // if you believe stress is breaking you, it will be breaking you - stress is actually a prerequisite when trying to do something worthwhile, when trying to achieve a new level of performance that once wasn't at reach

My favorite active recovery is to hike barefoot, under the sun at my fave local park or a quick swimming + sunbathing session at the beach. Works wonders on my energy levels!

Damn, this is just so hard to do as a WFH software engineer. Life and work just mixes and melds so much.

It's not! Have a dedicated room for work, and only enter the room when working. Your "home life" happens outside of it.

I work from home and have a second office and shutting the door seriously helps. But if you don’t have a second room do a co office space, coffee shop, or put the laptop and anything work related (laptop, notes, even plug to laptop) away and out of site.

As a student who is in school for half of the day, studies for her regular exams for the rest of the day and studies for the graduation exams when i catch some free time i needed some advice. I aprox work/study 13 hours a day and i have been so stuck in that grey area. Im so desperate for rest that I zone out pretty fast while working and dont get enough stuff done. Yet i feel guilty whenever i actually take time off. I will try to someonehow work more and get more stuff done in a shorter period of time, but then actually take abt 2 hours daily just for myself to rest my brain. Thank you for the advice

Thanks for watching Alice. I'd recommend having dialed-in rest protocols (and, ideally, taking 1 day off every week). That will guarantee you don't get burnt out. Good luck with your exam + studies.

Thanks for the video! I have a question about reframing stress though: for me the problem with my burnout is that the work is so much, and consequently the stress, that I don’t like anymore that “good stress” and excitement that my job always gave me. Isn’t this the main problem of burnout after all?

another video that does not understand what's underlying a burnout condition: a disconnect between "how much I perceive that I work" and "the compensation or reward that I get out of that work". I might as well make my life binary, know when I am done and so on and so on. But if I do not get credit for my work; if I get absolutely zero from a day's work; if my work gets rejected all the time, then these strategies are just like fresh water

Sorry to learn you're going through this. This video is mostly intended for entrepreneurs, who manage their own schedule. Burnout in professionals indeed has a psychological component, please check Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) by Christina Maslach to get a more quantitative idea of your burnout level. and its causes.
