Ep 127: You’re Not Burnt Out - You’re Bored

27 July

Season 3 · Ep 127

About this episode

Everyone seems to be burnt out right now.

And here's the thing - some people genuinely are. Burnout is real, it's serious, and if that's you I am not here to minimise it for a second.

But some of the people telling me they're burnt out?

They're actually bored.

And those are two very different things with two very different solutions. Getting clear on which one you're actually dealing with - that's what this episode is about.

This time of year is prime boredom territory. The new year energy is long gone. You're not quite at the finish line yet.

And that flat, restless, going-through-the-motions feeling has crept in for a lot of people.

In this episode I'm breaking down what burnout actually looks like, what boredom actually looks like, and exactly what to do if you suspect it might be boredom that's been the problem all along.

Before you quit your job. Before you call it burnout. Have a listen to this one first.
