What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Define Your Boundaries – Use tools like Outlook, OneNote, and task managers to prioritize, set limits, and protect your time. Find Joy Outside Work – Surfing, gardening, creating—whatever gives you peace, schedule it in to recharge. Take Care of Yourself – Sleep, nutrition, and mindfulness aren’t optional; they’re fuel for staying sharp in high-pressure environments. Julie’s FIO (Figure It Out) 👉 Choose one action item today: Block time on your calendar. Pick one joyful activity outside of work. Schedule that doctor’s appointment or commit to better sleep/nutrition. Then share your progress with the community.
