Feeling Burnt Out? Here’s What To Do About It.

It seems like every day some tech company announces a new product that’s going to make our lives easier, our work more efficient, our spare time more enjoyable. Sure — then why do so many of us feel overworked, overextended and plain old burnt out? How did contemporary life get so wild and frantic?

If you identify with that sentiment, you’re not alone. Wildly popular podcaster Mel Robbins opens up a recent episode with a common lament. “I feel like I’m losing myself a little more every day,” she says. “No matter how hard I try, I’m always behind. Does that sound familiar? You’re waking up before everybody else in the house and immediately what’s happening? You’re up in your mind and triaging the day. You’re going through, like okay my kids, my parents, and then I got to do this and then I’ve got to do this.

It’s a twofold problem, Robbins suggests. You’re caring for everyone else, and no one is caring for you. What’s the solution? It just may lie in this podcast, in which Robbins gets three medical experts together to devise a plan for you to simply stop doing everything.
