Capacity Creator Podcast Diary of a Functioning Burnout

EGOCAKE

Over-commitment and overwhelm are very real factors leading to burnout. Distraction is eroding our capacity and killing our creativity and productivity. So many of us walk around overwhelmed by all the options and opportunities thrown at us 24/7.

You can reduce this by spending a little time understanding your decision making process and commitment tendencies. The EGOCAKE framework can help.

Capacity Elasticity

We don’t always realize how much we’re saying yes to—until we’re completely stretched thin. Like an elastic band, our capacity can stretch and adapt… but only for so long. Keep adding more without making space, and eventually, it snaps.

This slow build-up of over-commitment is one of the sneakiest ways burnout takes hold. The good news? You can start shifting it by becoming more aware of your patterns, boundaries, and how you’re allocating your energy.

TEDx Burnout: How Addiction to Distraction is Eroding our Capacity
