    Why Your Systems SUCK and Are Burning You Out (+ How to Fix Them)

    In today’s episode of the Burnout-Proof Podcast, we’re getting real about why most systems fail for high-achieving entrepreneurs. Your systems should work for you, not drain you. I’m breaking down five actionable tips to help you simplify, streamline, and create a sustainable workflow that aligns with your goals. From consolidating tools to building a "second brain" with Notion, this episode covers everything you need to know to get your systems working smarter, not harder. If you’re ready to elevate your workflow and ditch the chaos, this one’s for you. Resources Mentioned: Automation 101 Masterclass - click here NEW Notion Digital Planner - click here Sustainable Systems School - click here Key Takeaways: Consolidate Your Tools: Cut down on app overload by choosing platforms that handle multiple needs in one place. Create a Second Brain: Use Notion to centralize information so you’re not constantly searching for what you need. Automate Repetitive Tasks: Templating and automation save time, energy, and mental bandwidth. Plan Before You Build: Map out your needs first to avoid creating a cluttered, ineffective system. Regular System Audits: Monthly or quarterly check-ins ensure your systems evolve with you and stay aligned with your goals. Sound Bites: “If your systems are draining you, they’re holding you back.” “Simplify to amplify—app overload only creates more noise.” “Notion acts as a ‘second brain,’ keeping you organized and freeing up mental energy.” “Automation isn’t just efficient; it’s essential for focusing on what truly matters.” “Don’t ‘set it and forget it’—great systems evolve with you.”

    143 - Are You Hustling from Purpose or Pressure? (And Is it Burning You Out?)

    In this episode, I dive into a question every high-achiever should ask: Are you hustling from a place of purpose or from pressure? I’m here to set the record straight—this isn’t about telling you to hustle less or abandon your goals. This is about recognizing where your drive comes from and making sure it’s fueling you, not depleting you. Together, we’ll explore the differences between purpose-driven and pressure-driven hustle, how each one feels, and how to make the shift toward meaningful, sustainable work. I’ll also share actionable tips and the role that burnout-proof systems play in making sure your hustle stays aligned with your goals, long-term vision, and the life you actually want to lead. RESOURCES in this Episode: Subscribe to the Sunday CEO Diaries (and get FIRST DIPS on mega discounted Black Friday offers) - https://www.coachellyn.com/list Key Takeaways Purpose-Driven vs. Pressure-Driven Hustle: Purpose-driven hustle energizes and aligns with your goals and values, while pressure-driven hustle stems from external expectations, comparison, or fear, often leading to burnout. Common Signs of Pressure-Driven Hustle: Constant feelings of being behind, fear-based motivation, endless to-do lists, and a focus on “shoulds” instead of what truly lights you up. Shifting to Purpose-Driven Hustle: By revisiting your ‘why,’ setting intentional boundaries, identifying tasks that feel expansive, and checking in weekly, you can transform how you work. How Systems Support Purpose: Burnout-proof systems streamline your work, help you stay focused on high-impact tasks, and free you from busywork—keeping your hustle aligned with what matters most. Sound Bites: “This isn’t about working less. It’s about making sure your work is meaningful and sustainable.” “Hustling from pressure feels heavy and draining. Purpose-driven hustle fuels you because it’s aligned with what you really care about.” “Ask yourself: Is your hustle lighting you up, or is it weighing you down?” “Burnout-proofing doesn’t mean slowing down; it means building a work style that’s high-energy and sustainable.” “When you build the right systems, you’re not holding back—you’re setting yourself up for the highest impact.” Keywords: Purpose-driven hustle Pressure-driven hustle Burnout-proof systems High-achievers Sustainable success Work-life balance Business systems for entrepreneurs Productivity for high-achievers Preventing burnout Alignment in business
