Burnout Is An Energy-Spectrum Problem
- Burnout is when available energy is inferior to the task at hand and exists on a spectrum from normal fatigue to recovery-failure.
- True long-term burnout happens when your recovery programs stop working and you stop regaining energy.
Schedule Recovery Like A Strategy
- Build a predictable recovery plan: three-day weekends monthly, a 4–5 day quarterly getaway, and a 2–4 week annual break.
- Match recovery to output: higher output requires proportionally more recovery to avoid chronic burnout.
Blow Past Limits To Increase Capacity
- Capacity grows by deliberately blowing past current limits and then recovering to extend capability.
- Avoid a lifetime of merely avoiding burnout, which keeps you stagnant and prevents capacity gains.
