Let’s talk about burnout?

Damn! It might be burnout. I remember these thoughts several times in my life.
Feeling tired even after sleep? Lost the spark for your job, feel negative about everything. You doubt your skills and feel like nothing you do is good enough.

There are classic recommendations that work:
– Recharge
– Learn how to say NO
– Delegate
– Talk to your closest ones
– Talk to your boss
– Celebrate small wins
– Prioritize your personal needs.
– Go to therapist

But there is something else hidden.
Burnout isn’t just about how much you work, it’s about what kind of work you do.
And one of the biggest cause of burrnout is ADMINISTRATIVE OVERHEAD – meetings, emails, planning, etc.
Feeling stuck in six hours of meetings people start to do real work in the evenings, leading to even longer hours. And bad spiral of burnout starts to grow.

Let’s break the cycle and fight busywork!
– Set clear agendas and time limits for meetings.
– Ask: “Is my presence essential?” or “Could this meeting be an email or dashboard?”
– Focus on key tasks, not endless planning.
– Communicate clearly
– Practice meeting-free days
– Use project management tools
– Set clear expectations to the group
– Communicate effectively
Bonus: Automate! 80% of administrative overhead could be done by AI today.
