Many listeners to the Exam Study Expert podcast are pretty high achievers, and with that, you tend to push yourself hard.
Pushing too hard, for too long, with too little recovery can result in us getting run down and burnt out.
Today's episode is all about understanding burnout, what it is, steps to avoid it, and steps to get out of it and recover.
Today's guest, Hannah is an incredible authority on the subject of how to avoid and overcome burnout: whether you’re a student, professional or parent.
Hannah’s advice is packed with personal experience and practical steps for identifying the 6 most common root causes of burnout, and the 4 fears that fuel them.
We also take a deep dive into identifying and correcting unhelpful habits that lead to burnout, including procrastination, overachieving and setting boundaries.
A must-listen episode, whether you’re feeling overwhelmed or are simply curious!

Like a good workout, the best learning should be a bit of a stretch but not impossible.
That's the principle desirable difficulty in action.
I consider it a more "advanced" principle for learning effectively, but it's a very powerful idea to understand and be able to use if you're looking to make your learning as efficient as possible.
Tune in to learn how, and take YOUR learning to the next level!
