Protecting Rest Is the Antidote to Burnout (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: So, you're burnt out. The question is, how do you get out of that funk and back into your routine? Now, when it comes to rest, you have to be almost drill sergeant strict about it, especially if you're a workaholic. Because when things get a little busy, it's really easy to just sacrifice your free time in order to get things done. Because it's free time, I'm not doing anything anyways, I might as well keep working. But the more you borrow that time, the worse your burnout is going to be, almost exponentially. You need to have rigid, strict time slots in your day that are dedicated for nothing but rest. That's right, a time where you're not editing, brainstorming ideas, thinking about thumbnails, looking at other videos for inspiration, nothing. You can spend that time laying down, staring at the ceiling for all I care. As long as what you're doing has nothing to do with work, you're golden. You gotta treat this time as serious, maybe even more so, than your actual work. It should be, like, sacred to you. Because as painful as it might feel, a better rested you will always, always, always result in better work and just, you know, overall a better life.
