Episode 51 Energy series: The hidden drain of micro stressors

from The Tom’s Life Lab Podcast · host tomslifelab

Most days aren’t ruined by one big stressful event, they’re worn down by lots of small ones. In this episode of the Tom's Life Lab, Tom explores the idea of micro stressors: the emails, notifications, interruptions and task switches that quietly stack up and drain your energy without you really noticing. You’ll learn why it’s not the size of these stressors that matters, but how they accumulate, how they show up in your body and attention, and what you can do to stop them building into something overwhelming. This week’s Life Lab experiment helps you spot the small energy drains you usually overlook, and make simple changes that help you feel better and get more done.
