156: how Not to Catch Your Colleague’s Burnout

A new client came to me worried she was catching her colleagues’ burnout. She said, “Everywhere I look, people are miserable — complaining about coworkers, staying until 8p and coming back on the weekends, sending terse emails. I DON’T want to end up burnout.”

Here’s what I told her: you can guarantee to never be burned out.

In this week’s episode you get the burnout prevention plan I built for her.

It’s what I created me, my private clients, and my dearest friends:

Step 1: Fixer Filter: Instead of spending more time with burnt-out colleagues trying to help them feel better — or picking up their work — use the Fixer Filter to protect you AND them

Step 2: Redefine Rule: Burnout isn’t an accident. This decision making tool prevents burnout every time.

Step 3: Data Dashboard. Burnout is data, not destiny. Your workplace is showing you what works and what doesn’t. I show you HOW to build guardrails for a job you love.

Step 4: Limit exposure to burnout energy without alienating your colleagues. You don’t have to change them — you just have to structure your time and interactions to protect your focus. Checkout my 4 favorite tips!

Step 5: Recovery Reserve: Schedule compensatory recovery time after draining meetings, shifts, or calls.

Try one step today and notice how quickly your work feels lighter — even if everyone around you is struggling. Burnout never has to be part of your story. This episode shows you how.
