Everyday stress can turn into chronic fatigue, overwhelm can turn into exhaustion, and bad days can trickle into dysfunctionality. Before we know it, we realize we’re burnt out and we simply can’t continue the way it’s been.
How do we recognize this early so we can prevent this? What steps can we take to alleviate it? What are the causal factors?
We dive into all of this in this episode.
We discuss

- Learning to differentiate between burnout and everyday stress and overwhelm.
- How does meaning and purpose correlate with burnout?
- Ways we can recognize burnout early and alleviate it.
- Debating Sam Altman’s (CEO of OpenAI) take on burnout.
