How to stop checking your email, avoid burnout, and build better stress habits (w/ Master Fixer Kelly McGonigal)

from Fixable

You can’t avoid stress altogether, but you can choose the kind that helps instead of harms. In this Quick Fixes episode, Anne and Frances are joined once more by Master Fixer Kelly McGonigal to tackle three listener questions in under 30 minutes. One listener asks how to spot the early signs of burnout, another worries about adding the stress of a new job to their already stressful home life, and a final Fixer wants help breaking a compulsive email-checking habit.Featured guestFollow Kelly McGonigal on Instagram and at https://www.kellymcgonigal.comBuy Kelly's book Joy Is a Risk Worth TakingConnect with the teamFollow Anne on Instagram and LinkedIn Follow Frances on Instagram and LinkedInWatch Fixable videos on youtube.com/@TEDAudioCollectiveVisit Anne and Frances’ websiteHave a question you want Anne and Frances to solve?
