This is how i massively improved my mental health when it comes to work. I used to always stress input, now i focus on output

[TraceyBarracloughInspiration]

As a society, we seem to wear ‘busyness’ as a badge of honour; and busyness does not by any means measure success + the stress of it is highly addictive

As someone with ADHD this is a perfect dicotamy... the best advive I can give anyone struggling with burnout or hazeyness is to simply time yourself doing stuff...dont race but set an actual timer for everything...and only do single stimulation as I call it, basicly, if you are eating, you are eating. No music. No tv. You will eat. Then watch tv or music or anything. Its wild how much you get done without rushing...humans need anchors.

When I get done with a hard days work I simply look at what I just made/installed and I know exactly what I got done.

I feel like this is my life as a homeschool mom. I think I need to watch the rest of this episode.

This is a product of the "pay for time" instead of "pay for output" mentality of business leadership.

Obviously, paying for time means people waste time. Paying for output means people work harder.

This is easy to understand but for some reason people actually think humans need to work 40 hours per week.

I coined the phrase "busy idiots". Having spent the better part of the last decade in hospitality across Europe, you'll find them in all walks of life. They act busy, seem busy, complain they're busy, but aren't getting much done 😅

Top down vs bottom up thinking. If this is you, look into it, you may find answers about yourself.

WOW! As someone with a touch of ADHD, this is profound!!!

A previous manager, mad, always into "busyness", doing, setting pointless tasks, thinking she was productive. She'd make my poor, obliging colleague create pointless flow charts. Eventually I stopped playing the game and ignored her make work BS tasks and continued on with necessary work.
This was in local government.
She was made redundant.
I was kept on. Win.
