How to Work WITHOUT Burnout | Simon Sinek 

Exactly!

My work does My hr says to mute our phones on our lunch break so we dont burn out and to send our bosses his way if they dont like it

I see it starting with us smaller business owners that have had the burnout experience. We want a team that is truly working at their best - best quality.

whatever job you do, they must be paying you handsomely.

Don't forget that the lumberjack still has to take the hour to sharpen his axes. So in the end he doesn't really save any time. In other words: Case 1(one axe): work 4 hours, sharpen axe, work 4 hours - total 9 hours. Case 2 (two axes): work 4 hours, switch axe, work 4 hours, sharpen axes at home(30 minutes each) - total 9 hours. If the lumberjack has to take time off anyway for lunch, then might as well take the hour to sharpen his axe as well.

Note that this fact doesn't change no matter how many axes you add in the problem. If, say, a particular axe can be used for 8 hours before it has to be sharpened(invalidating my 30-minute point above), then the two axes still need to be sharpened for 2 hours every 2 days. This is just going to endlessly extend no matter how many axes you add - say you have 5, then you need to spend 5 hours every 5 days to keep them sharp. So in the end, you don't really gain any time(in fact, you are at a loss because you had to spend money to buy the additional axes).

Sean Smith bro this is not about just one particular day. Next day you have to come with two sharpened axes which means he would be sharpening his axe at his 🏠 for an hour anyway.

Me who would pick a chain saw : I am four parallel universes ahead of you

It could be that your relationships are structured in a way that they are consuming your energy rather than building your energy. Rather than cutting them off, they need to be repaired. For example, a person who is always asking you for your resources (time, money, a ride, a favor) needs to have boundaries set. You need to let him or her know that the amount of resources they are asking from you is outside of the boundaries of a healthy relationship and that it needs to end. Or, perhaps you have a family member who only wants to complain about other family members with you. You need to let him or her know that this kind of gossip relationship is no longer acceptable and that you need to change the conversations when he or she is around, that you will no longer entertain gossip conversations. It's all about developing healthy relationships. Simply cutting off relationships that are working isn't the answer. Why? Relationships involve two parties, you and the other individual. If you have unhealthy relationships in your life, half of the reason for that is you. If you simply cut off the relationship, not fix it, you are not doing the work on yourself to ensure future relationships don't end up the same way. You will just go from one toxic or draining relationship to the next, and wonder why this always happens to you. You have to take ownership of the part you play in draining relationships. If the other party will not change and continues to be draining, that's when it is healthy to cut it off.

@@sotl97 thanks for such as examples

True at times! Unfortunately!

Sorry to hear that! Some of that could be worth asking the questions about which relationships you are choosing to be in and secondly, how you are choosing to show up. Work is great for what it is, but isn't designed to be replacement for relationships. That strategy will come with an expiration date.

We too :)

That is called a burnout... tell your boss and asks if he rather has a person working for 8 productive hours or 12 with being physically tired but there but and at the most positive case and from just that psychically 6 hours of aware being there.

My X is very sharp these days 😄

Duvet day

The wider view on what he's saying is when you have time off, whether it's a day off or a week off, take the time off, leave work at the door for that period. You might not be able to give yourself "duvet days" but you can schedule time off so you can actually recharge.

Yes plan Events that recharge You every 6 weeks or so! Or have a daily, or weekly “thing” just for you. Knitting, gardening, painting, give your brain a break!

Also remember, We teach people how to treat us! If you set your schedule, you're consistent, mindful, and intentional. Your clients will follow suit. Be a person of your word for yourself and others.

I think they fixed the audio. The first time for me, the audio only worked on one side.

😆😆

I don’t think that it’s a con man story, it’s just that the people listening to the video aren’t the ones who implement this sort of environment. CEOS send their employees to these trainings, but they don’t implement the kind of culture he’s talking about because they don’t actually care.

LOL this is also real bro. When you're in support or operations team, can't help but standby and wait until the shift ends to finish what needs to be finish - even if you don't feel like it coz' the client's concerns, mostly the prio ones, cannot be set aside just because of what you feel. 🤣🤣🤣 Well, to prevent burnout for this type of work is to have good chemistry and relationship with your teammates that you don't have to take your concerns somewhere or take off work just to vent your stress. Coz' your team will support you and help you go through it without risking the team's service and performance ✌️💙

@@jeMatEssA doesn’t answer my question

Is that working for you? Is it sustainable? Does it fulfill the purpose for you of why you do your work in the first place?
