As a recovering burnout, I’m constantly working to practice what I preach what I help clients with. Earlier this summer, I felt the familiar pull of ‘busy mode’—an overbooked calendar, and then, inevitably, I got sick.
It was a reminder that even when you know better, you have to stay vigilant about protecting your time and energy.
I noticed the warning signs: too much on my plate, not enough breathing room, and health taking a hit. So, I did what I needed to do—I hit pause, reassessed, and made intentional changes to reset.
One of the back to basics—and I highly recommend—is scheduling ‘white space’ on your calendar. But here’s the hard part: keeping that space clear. I briefly fell into the trap of filling it up, and that’s where the real challenge lies.
So:
1️⃣ What can you pause?
2️⃣ Where can you reassess your priorities?
3️⃣ How will you reset and protect your schedule to create that space?
