Welcome to another episode of the Disrupting Burnout podcast where we give you the strategies for pouring out purpose without burnout. I am Dr. Patrice Buckner Jackson, but you can call me PBJ.

Are you struggling to take effective breaks during your workday? Many professionals mistakenly view task switching as a form of rest, but this episode unravels the truth. We explore how genuine micro breaks can lead to a healthier, more productive work rhythm. Experts reveal that knowledge workers experience about 20 interruptions hourly, most of which are self-inflicted! We’ll guide you on creating restorative micro breaks that fit seamlessly into your daily routine, allowing you to rejuvenate your mind and maintain focus without the exhaustion of constant task switching.

Join us as we discuss the impact of a cluttered workspace, the value of morning pages, and the power of communication in setting boundaries with colleagues and family. Learn to prioritize effectively, ensuring you focus on what matters most each day. By embracing these insights, you equip yourself with tools to prevent burnout and enhance your overall well-being. Don't miss out on this enlightening conversation! Connect with us through our show notes for additional resources and download your stop plan today.
