How Minimalists Combat the Symptoms of Burnout

The symptoms of burnout include fatigue, hopelessness, and diminished motivation. And while Western cultures revere busyness, simplifying schedules and paring down To-Do Lists benefit our health, our happiness, and our sanity. On this episode of The Sustainable Minimalists podcast: how to identify (and prevent!)  burnout, declutter your schedule, and plan your days like a minimalist.  


How Minimalists Combat the Symptoms of Burnout

 

The symptoms of burnout include fatigue, hopelessness, and diminished motivation. And while Western cultures revere busyness, simplifying schedules and paring down To-Do Lists benefit our health, our happiness, and our sanity.

Minimalism at its most fundamental level is an experiment in intentional living, and so on today’s episode we explore how a life rooted in intentionality can combat burnout.

This week, I speak with Delanie Fischer. Delanie is a simplicity coach who outlines the exact steps she took to declutter her schedule and simplify her life. She explains how she combatted the symptoms of burnout in her own life, too, by focusing less on small, day-to-day stresses and more on the big picture, instead.

Here’s a preview of today’s episode:

[6:05] The unique connection between decluttering and slowing down

[12:10] 3 questions to ask yourself before saying ‘yes’

[18:00] The trifecta of schedule simplification; plus: the multitudinous benefits to starting an Outsource Fund

[22:15] Why you should tackle items on your Hate List first

[25:30] How to best achieve a work-life balance when working from home

 

Happy listening!
