Corporate Therapy: Executive Coaching with Lucy Paulise

#5 Burnout: How to Refocus When Everything Feels Important


Listen Later

When everything feels important, focus disappears — and many high performers interpret that as failure.

In this episode of Corporate Therapy, Lucy Paulise reframes burnout not as a problem to fix, but as a signal: a sign that your attention is spread too thin and it’s time to refocus on what truly matters.

You’ll explore why this feeling shows up so often during the holidays, how carrying too many priorities at the same level drains energy, and a simple, practical framework — the 4Ds (Do Now, Do Later, Delegate, Delete) — to reduce noise and make clearer decisions without adding pressure.

If you’re feeling stretched, scattered, or mentally tired, this episode offers a grounded way to reset — without doing more.
