Avoiding Burnout from Remote Work

Burnout doesn't happen overnight. It's small choices you make every day that put you on the path to burnout. But what if you knew what to look out for?

Since starting to work remotely, you've probably been on an endless burnout battle:

• Overworking yourself
• Feeling constantly exhausted
• Never being able to turn 'off' from work

But it doesn't have to be this way. I started working remotely in 2015. First, as a software engineer and gradually leveling up until I became Head of Product and Operations for a tech company.

In the beginning, I was just like you — always battling another burnout cycle. After years of trial and error, I finally figured out what I was doing wrong and created a healthy approach to remote work.

This means I have:

• Built healthy work boundaries (I end my workday at 4pm without guilt!)
• Stopped repeating bad habits I picked up while working in-person
• Allowed my work to revolve around my life and not vice versa

In this 35-minute video course, I'll show you how to do the same. You can't be your best self or do your best work while burned out. Let's break the burnout cycle so you can start living your best life!

Your past self wishes you knew all this in 2020.

Your future self will thank you for learning it in today
