How to Avoid Burnout | Dr. Cal Newport & Dr. Andrew Huberman

[@Aristophocles]

This sounds like the life of a teacher. We don't need meetings about our job. We just need time to do our job!

[@Bigboss-xe6lm]

They took our time! And our minds

[@BigNick3468]

Healthcare shares this problem - the number of messages, conversations, and clicks that are required to do something simple like give a patient an aspirin is spiraling out of control.

[@newday2637]

What a great clip, burnout is a very important thing. When he explains the constant email checking that clearly inhibits productivity, it’s really insane . Definitely makes no sense to constantly have to check them and not actually get anything accomplished. I also agree with poem if you enter into something with wholeheartedness no matter the difficulty , it could be cure to burnout. It seems nowadays, most people only give minimal effort to things .

[@martine5716]

If you work in human or veterinary healthcare ,as I did, there is a whole different level of burnout happening! You can add secondary trauma stress and compassion fatigue to and already high stress workplace. You're dealing with emergencies, death, and others stress, grief, and emotional reactivenesss. You can't just walk out of a surgery or leave a patient when it's time to go home. By the time you do finally get home you have no emotional bandwidth left for yourself let alone your loved ones. We lose too many to suicide because of this.

Wassap lady, how do you do , where yaa from, nice to c yaa

[@funfitnesswithlauraleigh5012]

So true, that's why I left health care.

[@OldTomato44]

In my experience, the endless meetings comes from middle and upper-middle management needing to create busywork for themselves and their underlings, in order to justify their existence at the given institution.

[@al3xj]

Great to hear you both speak on this in such articulate detail - the hardest part for me is being in this place and seeing outside of it, the deconstruct what is actually happening enough to solve it - then having enough bandwidth remaining to execute the solution - Interestingly this last few weeks, I took time out, while still delivering operational priorities, to solve my personal problem, and I did, only to find my boss was unhappy and didn't understand why I took the time out to solve it - he himself couldn't see it clearly enough to understand why it was needed

[@misteress8008]

Yessir. Huberman, right in the beginning- you need to work for something bigger than money. Wholeheartedness. Love it.

[@TheNomadicTrader]

8:07 - a statement clearly demonstrating a man who has his sh*t together 👏🏻

[@geekspeak1066]

Fixing culture is tough but there are some simple features for our exist tools that would greatly increase my quality of life.

[@janwalicki9209]

Feels like lots of this only applies to white collar workers. But I guess that's most of the audience. Episode request - Huberman breaks down healthy hacks for shift workers.

​@@magdalenabiaa1326ay yo sap gurl, where yaa from, y'all lookin cute

[@crispynachos92]

This is a great critique on administrative fluff, but this is not burn out. There was a time in my life when meetings and emails were my only "rest stop" for the day. Burnout is when you're working 3 different jobs too afford your bills because you have no other choice. Burnout is when you have exhausted your physical and mental bandwidth to depletion and your brain and body put you in a time out.

[@slivi05]

Which is why they began by specifying that they were discussing burnout among office workers. There are many other ways and lifestyle where the term can be applied. I hope things eventuality for better for you.

[@dumitrascuraul4729]

Super to the point 💪🏼

[@norbibajgyik4460]

What about the industries that do not sit in an office all day ????

[@runnerdude1990]

I own a small business. I got the feeling my office manager was getting caught up in the “firefighting” tendencies of one of our major customers. We reworked her workflow to get ALL of her tasks done BEFORE any email. By day two she was reporting increased productivity. By day 3 she called me at 2 in the afternoon and said, “I’ve already been through my entire workflow twice today… I’m out of stuff to do”

[@runnerdude1990]

Next step is to get myself out of the cycle. On the cusp of burnout myself and need the change.

[@gasparsigma]

Interesting talk but I have learned absolutely nothing practical that I can do as an individual to avoid burnout

[@faisalhussain4022]

My company is been using Microsoft AI M365 copilot and what a game changer it is. So I agree technology is heading in the right direction to give us a break.

[@alanryan6084]

Quite a clickbait video title. talks about burnout, and some interesting points, but not necesarily how to avoid it other than changing at a cultural level

[@flyingintuition987]

this isn’t about burnout…

[@sara6alqurashi]

agree is more about productivity

[@runnerdude1990]

I think it is. Decrease the unproductive work, get the more productive work and you’ll have more margin which will reduce the likelihood of burnout.

[@candicerichards5753]

So, so, SO, so good!!! 👌💫

[@jtome84-91]

I’ve been doing 6-13’s a week working on a subway tunnel in a tower crane since September 2022 …

[@chunkchips4554]

This is nursing school in a nutshell. It's busy work, forced hours, mostly quantity over quality. It's activity instead of productivity.

[@toddmenahem3517]

I’m a CPA and this is exactly me 💯. My best hope is AI steps in to assist in some respect.

[@Endurator]

That’s why I like to work remotely!

[@crexx8296]

Wait do all of the KZbin versions have video? I've listened to every episode on Spotify.

[@beingavinav]

Hakuna Matata..🙂

[@andrewtan2598]

Then manager's or boss's will gas light that you're incompetent

[@alexanderwindh4830]

More tips on how to fix it

[@DPmusicForTheMind]

FYI: they don’t tell you how to not burn out

[@andreistoian2096]

I actually stopped the video when he was talking about using brain energy to just respond to email…and I was thinking how can AI be used in a way where it can Identify the thread of a conversation on Slack or email, and then just continue it without using our own brain energy for it or maybe something like Neuralink integrated with AI where you could work, and somehow answer email, for example, but just using your thoughts and the AI doing the boring work, writing that email etc, so you can focus on the actual work.

[@jonathanpadavatan3611]

so that's further down the rabbit hole. He's talking about meta work and using AI to do meta work is well..?. maybe we should try to use AI to reduce the GINI coefficent to zero across the planet-

[@MrFromminsk]

Admitting that the BS work doesn't make sense would put you on he chopping block. For example, I am a software engineer at large corporation. We have way too many people. Probably 50% can be laid off without any productivity loss. Try to bring it up to the manager and see what happens?

[@FitHacker-mj6by]

There's literally nothing addressed about "how to avoid burnout" in this clip

Forget burnout. Bring light to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

[@petebarber6778]

your identity should not be based on your work.

[@petebarber6778]

has this dude lived in a world where everyone has an office job?

[@andrewt9434]

id love to be in meetings all day 🙄

[@lukeharris2622]

✝️💪

[@KS-ev9yp]

This is interesting but this is not burnout. Burnout existed before email and internet.

[@petebarber6778]

if you are not grounded at home......you will be fu... in the workplace

[@pauleerhart1]

In all honesty and no offense meant, this is really just scratching the surface about causes for burnouts. The true cause lies in all the negative/limiting beliefs that live in your unconscious mind, which have been build up during your lifetime (often originating in early childhood). As long as you don't transform these beliefs (via hypnosis), burnout is just around any corner. Independent of work culture, or other external factors. The latter are NEVER the root cause of burnout, it's the stories you tell yourself. Not allowing yourself to respect your boundaries, desperately trying to meet other people's expectations in order to get 'approval' (i'm good enough), etc etc. As long as you seek self-approval outside yourself and not truly transform your beliefs, you'll never be free. I've been in a very heavy burnout and dealt with a shitload of limiting beliefs. 5 years later, I'm a completely different person, feeling truly free to live my life according to my own desires. Thanks to hypnosis, done by someone who actually knows what she's doing. But as hypnosis is not in the interest of the 'healthcare industry', it will always be set aside as a fairytale. So unfair, but that's what the collective conscious has been learned to belief. I could talk for hours on this subject. Feel free to reach out. Kind regards, Paul

[@goldfish2289]

First

[@zachcombs9103]

Where the hell does this guy work? Don’t think the cause of burnout is checking emails…

[@petebarber6778]

your guest is a spoiled child............burnout is actually being being mentally destroyed

[@zachcombs9103]

Yea not sure checking my email is what causes burnout lol

[@lenadiveeva586]

I don’t trust anymore A. Huberman

[@lebambale]

Well, first of all, don't date five women at once

[@lenadiveeva586]

And after this maybe I start listen your podcast, 100% agree

[@petebarber6778]

Andrew......your guests are usually more wisely chosen

[@sanghaviraj01]
