Most people don’t talk about burnout until they’re already deep in it by the end of the year—but what if we could prevent it before it even starts? In this episode, I take a proactive approach using Charlie Munger’s Inversion Principle to reverse engineer burnout. Instead of waiting until you’re overwhelmed, I’ll walk you through how to identify and eliminate the habits that lead to burnout so you can stay focused, energized, and productive all year long.

Episode Highlights:

• [5:47] - Using Charlie Munger’s theory of inversion on burnout.

• [15:50] - A step-by-step burnout prevention plan to stay sharp and in control
