2. Put Recovery on the Calendar
Burnout recovery isn’t something that just happens when you finally get that vacation or hit your goals. You have to schedule rest and recovery the way you’d schedule a meeting or workout.
That might mean:
- Blocking off a few hours each week for something that has zero to do with work or productivity
- Getting outside, moving your body, or doing something tactile (building, fixing, cooking)
- Spending time with people who don’t drain you
- Taking real lunch breaks. Not at your desk. Not while answering emails
You don’t earn rest by burning out—you prevent burnout by building in rest.
