The Antidote to Burnout That Nobody Is Talking About (And The Hidden Cause) | The Quickie
Description
Hot take: Burnout isn’t always about doing too much… sometimes, it’s about doing too little of what actually matters. This week, we’re diving into a little-known root cause of burnout that can change how we prevent it and recover from it: a lack of meaning, connection, and energizing.
While the usual advice focuses on rest and reducing your workload, we’re exploring the lesser-known side of burnout — the one that creeps in when your work lacks purpose, when you feel chronically disengaged, or when your lifestyle is missing excitement, hobbies, and emotional fulfillment.
I’m all too familiar with burnout, so tune in to hear more about:
- Why burnout isn’t always caused by stress or long hours
- How boreout and emotional disconnection lead to the same exhaustion
- How misalignment between your values and daily life creates chronic fatigue
- Actionable ways to reintroduce energy, creativity, meaning, and connection into your life (inside and outside of work)
- The need to take tech breaks, and why scheduling joy, hobbies, and human connection is non-negotiable
If you're feeling exhausted even after resting, stuck in a loop of apathy or wondering “what’s the point?”, this one is for you.
