Keynote: Managing the Burnout Burndown
summary
Defines burnout as “today’s resources not enough for tomorrow’s demands,” cites Gallup (23% burned out, 44% sometimes) and Harvard Business School ($125–190B cost, $48B from demanded work), and gives a three-part, practical burnout resistance framework: burn down barriers (meet people in person, use Slack “donut” pairing, volunteer), burn down distractions (practice a social media fast, learn to say no, journal), and burn down illness (prioritize sleep with weighted blankets, lower bedroom temp, white noise). Actionable tips and one-step must-dos throughout.
