Burnout and stress is on the rise. Finding work-life balance is increasingly elusive. What's the answer?

The issue isn't necessarily too few hours in the day, it's how we use the hours we have - which comes down to our choices and priorities.

Ed Jackson, the former pro rugby player turned walking quadriplegic who is now a charity fundraiser and TV presenter, came up with a superb formula for how to work out how to spend your time that helped save him from burnout. That formula was the adopted by another of my guests Lucy Gossage, the former Ironman Champion turned Oncology Doctor and Charity fundraiser, and it had a huge impact on her life which allowed her to have a hugely positive impact on so many other people's lives.
