How to Make Your Life Burnout-proof: Burnout 20 Years Later, Part 2

Twenty years after burnout almost took him out, Carey is back with Part 2—the recovery playbook. You don’t need to get back to normal. Normal is what burned you out. In this solo episode, Carey shares seven strategies to burnout-proof your life: stop managing time and start managing energy, move to a fixed calendar, guard your green zone, and stop letting the wrong people hijack your best hours.
