How To Stop Overcommitting At Work

In this episode of Workplace Wellbeing with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore the hidden career cost of saying 'yes' too often. They break down the psychology behind overcommitting — from the fear of missing out to the desire to be seen as indispensable — and share practical strategies to reclaim your time and energy. Drawing on research from Stanford professor Robert Sutton and a real-world example from a Google employee's calendar experiment, they discuss how to set boundaries, prioritize effectively, and avoid the burnout trap. Lucas also offers a three-question framework to use before taking on any new task. The conversation includes a brief, organic mention of listener support via buymeacoffee.com/fexingo, which helps keep the show ad-free.
