I feel that way with my job right now. It's meaningless, and mindless. I've been held back my entire life from a really young age. I'm 37 now, and my potential is eating away at me like a parasite. *I want a damned CHANCE.* I'm sick of wasting my life in factories and warehouses. I want to illustrate, write, read, study math. I never got that chance as a teenager. I HAVE SO MUCH MORE CREATIVE POTENTIAL THAN THIS. IT'S EATING ME ALIVE.

[@man9gor128]

Here is a summary of the video in bullet points: Burnout is a distinct medical condition characterized by exhaustion, cynicism, and low self-efficacy It is caused by prolonged exposure to burnout triggers like lack of control, unfairness, insufficient reward, etc. Burnout alters the brain's neural pathways in a way that increases negative emotions and decreases self-control To prevent burnout, one must identify their personal burnout triggers and address the root causes It's important to choose the "right kind of hard" work that plays to your strengths and provides sufficient reward One should avoid staying "too close to the line" and overexerting themselves by regularly assessing capacity In some cases, intentionally increasing workload short-term can boost success and motivation to overcome burnout Triggers like lack of control, unfairness, etc. must be systematically disarmed through direct communication Building "burnout body armor" with recovery techniques like cold therapy, heat therapy and exercise can help too

As someone that has struggled with burnout for years, and recently getting far worse, I greatly appreciate the timeliness of this video. The two points that really hit hone for me are 1) feeling like what I do has no meaning or proportional reward for a given effort, and 2) always red-lining it. I think 2 compounds the effects of 1. It has been years since a 4 week vacation or sabbatical has truly felt restoring.

Isn't it interesting the caregivers as spoken of at 1:15 first had high motivation and reward and then over time burned out and became cynical. Caregivers have high burn out rates even today, and you would think it is a high purposeful job and indeed it is. But, a job with high purpose doesn't mean you won't have burnout, it bares it's burden over time. Wouldn't it be better if at an individual level we could take care of each other for a time, until people are well, find purpose and reward in that caregiving, and then continue on after that time of helpfulness. I think what burns out caregivers in all circumstances is that it's *constant*, and there is no seen time of wellness or health, i.e. once their patients are well you don't get the reward of seeing them healed, they leave, or they pass on. So we have a community of caregivers constantly and exclusively seeing the weak and dying and disabled, but never see the progression of health and wellness. You see so much death and pain without the balance of health and birth. When we used to, as a family, take care of our elderly or sick, you would have help from different family members, and it would be for a time, not a 20-30+ year career. And if you did have to care for a family member who was chronically disabled, at least that was your one or two loved ones you cared for, not 10, 30, 70 patients you glanced over because you don't have time to sit and be intentional with them because you're short staffed, because people keep leaving, because they're burned out. Families need to take care of their family, and have outside help and community help if needed, if the family is small, or the only family is elderly. That won't happen in this society, so what can we do? Or maybe you already do that but you want to help other caregivers. Show gratitude and let caregivers know that you are thankful for them, that they make a difference, and it's not all death and pain. The work is a negative experience not because the patience aren't worth caring for, but because the transition between life to death is a difficult, negative one. Death is in no way fun, or pretty. But taking care of the elderly is worth it. ❤ Taking care of our dear ones through disability is worth it. ❤ Taking care of the mentally ill and homeless is worth it. ❤ So tell people who take care of them thank you. ❤ Yes, people can wonder if it's worth it. And people leave the field. And people stop caring, wishing that death would just hasten them to the grave, or that they would just assist s*icide. This is NOT the solution. It is worth taking care of people, though the hurt, the disabled, the poor will always be with us. It is worth caring for them and loving them. ❤ Don't be deceived by the narrative that it would be better for society if they all just die by AS -- this is not the solution. Tell someone who is a caregiver thank you. THAT'S how you as an individual can help someone else mitigate their burnout, by expressing gratitude and thankfulness to others. That is how we need to lower burnout -- we can control no other aspect. This world we live in is burning. Be the water who puts out the flames in someone else's life by expressing gratitude.

[@Champion_18-e2h]

My Notes from this video: Burnout is typical. It is exhaustion, cynicism and low self efficacy. Breakout is not from only from one trigger ## Six burnout trigger 1. Lack of control 2. Value conflicts 3. Insufficient reward 4. work overload 5. unfairness 6. breakdown of community # How to not burnout ### Choose the right kind of hard play to your strength, have a good reward for your task The right kind of hard is fueled by intrinsic motivation, if we have curiosity, mastery, autotelicity, purpose and automony lead to more flow state You want most of the challenge to be tilted toward the upper end of a task, get from good to great ### Don’t stay to close to the line run at 80% of productivity. if you do 110% you get burnout and it takes long to get back to work. Start you daily capacity from 0 to 10 if you are at 8 or 9 slow down ### 3.If you see a hill sprint Leaning in is the solution to burnout. You can work out of burnout. Getting results is great against burnout. Make this only for a limited short time. ### Disarm the burnout triggers Detect and look for the triggers. For lack of control control on one thing For work overload take time off and recovery. Insufficient reward ask more for rewards unfairness don’t compare yourself to other people. Values conflicts contrast the core values. Breakdown community make space to people to talk with them ### Build your burnout body armor Do Active recovery. Use hermetics stress for this do mediation or a walk for this for a short time in the day. Cold showers, sauna, exercise, massage.

[@rendszer2307]

@@bot_1-sp4sm yeah its great we are thankful, but it can be a tough fight. As Rian says in his videos; we are all good at something, but different things. After top g inspired me to pick one of the most simple and profitable business models out there, i notice how i personally just don't really enjoy it at all. But i'm trying to fall in love with the simplicity and financial reward of it, so i'm fighting my way through the burnout to make it. But it feels so contradictory.. making myself fight through my personality just because thinking the light at the end of the tunnel is worth it. Currently i have been in a burnout phase for months- the smallest tasks feel like a deadlift. While the first months felt immaculately exciting... Like top g said some time: ''work for passion is BS. Do you think the multi-millionaire in china working with concrete is passionate about concrete? Does he like- lick it? No.'' But even when i try to apply that simple, goal-focussed thought to myself, that makes the biggest question i have these days: Just because i want big money in the fastest/simplest way, does that mean fighting my personality in this marketing business model is worth it?

You also need the Human Givens without which burnout is more than likely as you are not living 'in balance'. Toxic corporate or social or isolated environment can make burnout become chronic, by that stage you are looking at some level potentially of PTSD - brought on by the burnout, or potentially by other traumas outside the 'productivity goals'. If you work hard enough at something to achieve some flow state for a while be grateful and thankful it is one of the finest experiences of life.

Great advice. I'm living proof burnout is nothing to take lightly. I'll seriously try to implement the tips in some way, even though the approach taken here is mostly for "normal" people who are in the natural rhythm of sympathetic-parasympathetic neural response. I'm not. My whole organism has been on perpetual freeze response and constant high alert mode since an accident in infancy. But even so, I can see the merit of these five approaches. Burnout differs from depression. Oh, yes. And anybody who has not felt the bottomless free-fall exhaustion of burnout have no clue. It's not a temporary rut, it's kind of life-threateningly compact high-speed nothingness. But you may still be able to laugh and see things from the bright side. It's more like having lost control of the body and its fuctions. Burnout is a recognized disorder. Yes, it is, but the usual docs do not know how to handle it. Seeking help when I just couldn't get out of bed anylonger I was diagnosed with depression. Relentlessly rejecting SSRI, claiming I was not depressed, I was called hypochondriac for four years until I got secondary illnesses due to stress and they actually started taking me seriously. Docs still didn't know what to do about it, though. Long story short: I'm now on perpetual sick leave since having been in burnout mode for the last 20 years, making it chronic. Docs have no clue what to do but tell me to "take it easy". Identifying burnout triggers is essential. Hearing about this one, I realise school was a 12 year sprint of cognitive blunting, boredom and systemic under-challenge. I was always one of the smarter kids, and had to just sit and wait for the others, or erase pages in my workbooks when I had ended up in flow and done too much during a lesson. That taught me to not aspire to greatness as, either I do or don't, I'm f*cked. The right kind of hard My parents were almost as traumatised as myself from the accident I had. They did their best, but never understood that I was never alright. I learned that life is a constant struggle, that I have to over-achieve and excel to get anything, and that I must always and foremost be nice and never be better than anybody else. That is hard, but hardly the right kind of hard, especially for a kid. The result is, of course, that I don't know how to gauge "hard" and I don't know when I've crossed the line. Active recovery In my teens I was athletic, but after burnout I always crash again when trying to move, as I don't know how to be kind to myself in a productive way. I've now been waiting for a year to get professional help on how to rehab out of it. Massage and therapies are not on the menu, as I can just about cover food and shelter on the meagre pension I have. But I do have internet, and I'm actively working on getting my life-long stress responses under control. I believe that exploring "The right kind of hard" is my way out. I need to re-evaluate how I treat myself and what bars I set for myself. I'm kind of in a perpetual war with myself, and this video made that clear to me in a new way. I need to make peace with myself.

I hear you --especially about the smart kid thing. Cold showers cost pennies and self massage is free, so perhaps focus there?

[@zakguismi]

Really great insights! You tackled the topic from a NO BS perspective! Question, what to do in case you can’t change the current environment even tho its « the hard you didn’t chose » should I focus on active recovery protocol? In my scenario i have 1 year left to get my degree (in something I totally hate so I wanted to push through at least for this year between my degree and business and then switch to other things that I really want!

I followed you at the beginning and now you are at 150k

Rian Doris please make a video on flow in studying

[@AndreasFroehliPoker]

Active recovery is the skillset I’m still not very good at and it might cost me a ton

[@user-cz1gu8nl9o]

A cold shower only costs a few cents.

[@batuhannnnnnnnnnnn]

That was a quality video

[@JilianToree]

Winning = Efficient reward for work output. We could have stopped there. No one still not in the 1% has control over this. That’s the challenge. “Dial back a bit” lol I will tell my landlord that on the 1st when rent is due.

I'm also a student from a 3rd world country bro, don't let that stop you, control what you can, I'm sure there's more than you can control, you just haven't identify those things yet.

Just join a library, they are cheap and good for building momentum
