Why Context Switching is Draining You

Evergrowing is a podcast show for leaders on inner growth. When you step into leadership, you're embarking on a journey of continuous evolution – hence, Evergrowing. I'm Sabrina Wang, CEO of Evergrowth Coaching. I have the privilege of coaching top-tier CEOs running 8-9 figure businesses. Now, I'm bringing you the most impactful breakthroughs from our work. Summary: Context switching is one of the biggest challenges for CEOs, coaches, and leaders in today’s fast-paced world. Going from investor meetings to one-on-ones, from deep work to sales calls, can feel exhausting. In this episode, I break down why context switching is so hard and the four types of burnout that contribute to it: mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. More importantly, I share practical ways to reduce the energy drain and reclaim your focus. ⏳ Chapters & Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction: Why Context Switching is Hard 00:42 – The Real Cost of Multitasking & Context Switching 02:36 – The 4 Types of Burnout That Impact Focus 03:08 – Mental Burnout: Why Your Brain Feels Overloaded 04:28 – Physical Burnout: How Your Body Affects Your Focus 05:58 – Emotional Burnout: Carrying Unprocessed Feelings 07:28 – Spiritual Burnout: When Work Drains Your Life Force 08:45 – How to Reduce Mental Burnout (Simple Practices) 09:59 – Fixing Physical Burnout: Listen to Your Body 11:16 – Processing Emotions to Prevent Burnout 12:28 – How to Prevent Spiritual Burnout & Stay Energized 14:12 – The Key to Effortless Context Switching 15:42 – Closing Thoughts: Flow, Self-Compassion & Confidence 🔑 Key Takeaways: ✅ Multitasking isn’t a skill—it’s a stressor. Research shows it raises heart rate and decreases focus. ✅ Burnout comes in four forms—mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. Each one impacts how we perform. ✅ Mental burnout happens when our brains are overloaded—taking breaks, meditating, or stepping outside helps. ✅ Physical burnout comes from ignoring basic needs like sleep, movement, and hydration—regular body check-ins are key. ✅ Emotional burnout happens when we suppress feelings—allowing space to process them can prevent fatigue. ✅ Spiritual burnout happens when our work lacks meaning—prioritizing fulfilling tasks can restore energy. ✅ The key to smooth context switching is not brute force but aligning your energy, focus, and self-compassion.

Why Creating Joy is the Way to Build Productive and Creative Teams

Many of us talk about wanting to be happy. But we're actually looking for joy. A leader's job is not to come up with the best ideas, but to create an environment where people come up with the best ideas. And there’s no better way to achieve that than creating joy for your people. Unfortunately, this is the one thing most leaders overlook when trying to build productive teams. In this video, Sabrina talks about joy and how leaders can use it to motivate and energize their people. She also shares why happiness is a critical factor in employee engagement and the telltale signs your people are unhappy. Key Quotes: “The biggest mistake CEOs make with employee wellbeing is they don't know whether their people are actually happy or not.” “A leader's job is not to come up with the best ideas, but to create an environment where people are having their best ideas.” “Joy is something that you can feel with your body. It feels like warmth in your belly and warmth in your heart space.” “Many of us talk about wanting to be happy. We're actually looking for joy.” “When you create more joy, your productivity changes, your creativity changes, and your tolerance for challenging things changes.” “Joy is contagious. When an organization is drilled deep in the joy and the excitement of doing the work, then people also feel really connected to the vision.” "People don't leave their company. They leave their manager” What You’ll Learn: (00:00) Introduction (00:43) What is Joy? (03:09) The Best Way to Motivate Your People (06:30) Lack of Joy Equals Lack of Good Ideas From Your Team (08:20) Signs an Employee is Unhappy (09:27) Why You Need to Be Aware of Your Employees Happiness Links and Resources: The Art of Living: Peace and Freedom in the Here and Now by Thich Nhat Hanh Myevergrowth.com Sabrina’s LinkedIn Sabrina on X About the Show Are you a leader of a fast-growing organization who wants to build a world-class team?
