šŸ” How to Build Healthy Working Habits (Without Burning Out)

ā€œYou just need to work smarter, not harder.ā€

We’ve all heard the phrase, but most people don’t know how to actually do it.
In this episode, I share the story of a conversation in the gym that sparked a lightbulb moment for one overwhelmed employee... and how small shifts can completely transform how we work.

Because working harder isn’t sustainable—but working differently is.

🧠 Why Healthy Working Habits Start With Awareness

Most professionals don’t set out to burn out.
They fall into patterns—back-to-back meetings, endless to-do lists, skipping breaks—because that’s what the culture rewards.

But behind those habits is often:

  • A fear of not doing enough

  • A lack of clear boundaries

  • The belief that output = value

    And when those go unchecked? Cue workplace burnout, poor focus, and declining wellbeing.

    āš™ļø What It Really Means to Work Smarter

    Working smarter is not about hacks or time-blocking.
    It’s about rewiring the way we relate to work altogether.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Why your current habits may be draining your energy

    • What healthy working habits actually look like

    • How stress and over-functioning become the norm

    • Why culture change starts with conversations (yes, even in the gym!)
