How Career Burnout Reshapes Your Relationship with Time

Ever feel like there's never enough time, or that time is slipping away? Lucas and Luna explore how burnout distorts our perception of time, turning it into an enemy rather than a resource. They dive into the concept of 'time scarcity' and how it creates a vicious cycle of urgency and exhaustion. Using the example of a software engineer who started scheduling 'buffer blocks' to reclaim control, they discuss practical strategies like time-blocking for rest, the Pomodoro Technique modified for recovery, and why 'time confetti'—those tiny stolen moments—can actually backfire. They also touch on the research by psychologist Dr. Cassie Mogilner Holmes about how focusing on experiences rather than tasks expands our sense of time. This episode offers a fresh perspective on time management for the burned out. #Burnout #TimeManagement #WorkLifeBalance #Productivity #MentalHealth #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TimeScarcity #Rest #PomodoroTechnique #CassieMogilnerHolmes #TimeConfetti #Recovery #Boundaries #SustainableWork #Exhaustion #WorkplaceWellness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
