2 年I love this. The topic, the format. It's very well written. And am so excited to find your content! It is a great intro to burnout. I'm a former diplomat and can relate as my PTSD from warzones got retriggered during the pandemic. I have to say, however, that there is a piece that is missing. For years I was admiring my Israeli friend who sets her schedule by the 15 minute timeframe and I couldn't really even bring myself to use a schedule and calendar. So there actually are quite a few steps for example, before you can timebox that might need to be mentioned. And I've been told these practices might need some adaptation for ADHD neurodivergency from some of my clients. Getting someone who is perpetually time challenged and burntout to use a new system is optimistic at best. I even had coaches that were trying to help me use a calendar a few years ago. It's a process. I love the piece on connecting with values and your time. I'll look at the download. The piece that might be missing is the following - coaching people through resistances. That's what I do as a life coach. I start to see if there is a resistance to scheduling and then work with them on that. Then helping to work through time management.
