Let’s talk about burnout—but not the emotional kind.

🧭 Today’s belief shift: Burnout isn’t emotional. It’s habitual.

Most nonprofit leaders aren’t exhausted because they’re weak or disorganized. They’re exhausted because they’ve built habits that make burnout inevitable.

Jumping into decisions your team could handle.

Rewriting that donor email—again—because it’s “faster.”

Staying late just to catch up.

These aren’t quirks. They’re patterns. And they’re quietly bleeding your energy.

Today’s challenge: Pick one draining habit and ask—What structure or expectation makes this habit necessary?
