    Managing Stress & Burnout

    We often overlook the early warning signs of burnout—subtle hints like exhaustion, irritability, or loss of motivation. Instead, we push forward, believing that powering through will get us to the finish line faster.

In this episode, we take a closer look at how stress leads to burnout and explore the importance of balancing stress with recovery. I’ll share strategies to help you recognize when you're overloading and depleting yourself, and how to build sustainable recovery practices through mindful self-care.

    Oliver Burkeman on Finitude & the Freedom of Letting Go

    We live in a culture that constantly tells us to push harder, achieve more, and stay on top of everything. But this relentless striving often keeps us from the fulfillment we seek. Many of us face anxiety, procrastination, and burnout as we struggle to accept that the key to a more meaningful life lies in embracing our limitations rather than fighting against them. This week, I’m honored to welcome Oliver Burkeman, bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, as our special guest. Oliver’s work challenges the conventional approach to productivity, urging us to face our inherent human limitations and embrace the concept of finitude. His insights offer a refreshing perspective on how to live with greater intention, focusing on what truly matters rather than constantly striving for control. In his new book Meditations for Mortals, Oliver goes even deeper into the themes of time, control, and human limitation, offering a counterintuitive yet liberating approach to living well in a finite world. His philosophy encourages us to accept our limits and let go of the need to constantly “do it all.” In this episode, Oliver walks us through the journey of moving from understanding the constraints of time to taking meaningful action. We dive deep into the concept of finitude—our finite time, energy, and capacity—and explore how surrendering to life’s limitations and letting go of the need for control can lead to a more purposeful, fulfilling life. Tune in to learn how embracing our limitations can lead to profound freedom, allowing us to live fully within those boundaries and create a life of intentionality, meaning, and true presence. Topics CoveredEmbracing the concept of finitude and human limitationsHow to let go of control and live more intentionallyThe connection between productivity and surrenderOliver’s journey from Four Thousand Weeks to Meditations for MortalsThe role of mindfulness in taking meaningful actionWhy hustle culture leads to burnout and dissatisfactionPractical strategies for accepting our finite natureThe paradox of letting go and achieving moreOvercoming procrastination and anxiety by facing our limitsHow to align daily actions with what truly matters TranscriptYou can find the transcript on the episode's web page by clicking here. Oliver's Bio & ResourcesOliver Burkeman's books include the forthcoming Meditations for Mortals, about embracing limitation and getting around to what counts, along with the New York Times bestseller Four Thousand Weeks and The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking. For many years he wrote a popular column for the Guardian, 'This Column Will Change Your Life'. In his email newsletter 'The Imperfectionist', he writes about productivity, mortality, the power of limits and building a meaningful life in an age of distraction.
