A Four-Step Formula for Beating WFH Burnout

from Just As Well, The Women's Health Podcast · host Women's Health UK

Work’s a bit different these day, isn't it? Neat desks have been replaced with multitasking kitchen tables, colleagues with noisy family members, and some semblance of work-life balance with a messy mélange of the two. We want things to be business as usual; to get our heads down and plough on, grateful – amidst massive economic insecurity – to still have a job. But, if you’re finding it really bloody difficult to do so in these altered circumstances, you’re not alone. Joining Roisín to discuss how we can all navigate this new work world order is Nir Eyal, behavioural engineering expert, author of Indistractable: How To Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life, and (good news for any working parents listening) a seasoned home-schooler. In this episode, he explains why the current situation is so ripe for burnout and shares simple tactics to help us fine-tune our focus so we can work, and live, better - during these unprecedented times, and beyond.   Join Women’s Health on Instagram: @womenshealthuk Join Roisín on Instagram: @roisin.dervishokane Join Nir on Instagram: @neyal99   Topics: How to map your values onto your time when creating a schedule Smarter ways to discuss workload with your boss How to stop your children interrupting you Two tech recommendations to conquer distraction Why self-compassionate people tend to be the most successful Hosted on Acast.
