I firmly believe this. As much as I talk about travel and blocking your time for vacation, it doesn’t mean as much as making sure your regular day is something you enjoy living.

It’s not about just having vacations or weekends to look forward to (although that’s important!), but rather

1) pockets of time during each day to look forward to
2) day-to-day responsibilities that align with your mission
3) time with people who light you up
4) feeling a sense of control and agency in the work that you’re doing
5) feeling forward progress and a sense of accomplishment

Maximizing for these things has helped me make better decisions about new projects and really battle burnout as a practicing clinician.

What can you do this week to maximize one of these aspects of work life? 🤍
