The only time and energy audit guide you'll ever need

Burnout is real. But this is a great first step toward recovering from it.

Hello friends!

If you listened to my podcast episode with the incredible Israa Nadir (The Well Guide on Substack!), she probably confirmed your suspicions: Most of us are horribly burned out.

Burnout is a huge societal problem, meaning there’s only so much an individual can do to fix it. And, falling into the trap of thinking burnout is your fault is exactly what the people causing this problem want you to do. Don’t fall for it!

With that in mind, you shouldn’t have to live in misery, which is why I went back to Israa and asked her to help me create a guide to auditing your time and energy so you can understand what’s burning you out. I think we came up with some really good stuff, and I’m hopeful that it will help set all of us on the path toward burnout recovery.

This guide is for paid subscribers only. If you haven’t upgraded to paid yet, you’re missing out on some really good stuff, like our 7-day attention span challenge, gut health reset, and so much more.

With all that in mind, here’s a guide to creating an audit around your time energy. I hope you find it as helpful as I do!

A time and energy audit guide for burnout recovery

Step 1: Start with self-compassionate awareness

Burnout recovery begins with metacognition, or the process of observing your own thoughts, behaviors, and emotions without judgment. This kind of self-reflection activates the brain’s default mode network, which is associated with making meaning in our lives.

By tuning into not just what you’re doing but how those activities feel in your body and mind, you build the kind of self-awareness that precedes real behavioral change.

Over the next few days, or looking back at the last 2–3 weeks, reflect on your day-to-day life with these prompts:
