Managing Capacity and Preventing Burnout

Susan emphasized the importance of understanding one's capacity as a metaphorical cup, which can be filled with tasks, stress, and other factors, and emptied through self-care and mindfulness activities. She warned that overfilling the cup can lead to burnout, which has serious health consequences such as increased risk of diabetes, anxiety, heart disease, and even early mortality. Burnout can also negatively impact workplace performance, leading to decreased productivity and job satisfaction.
