Role playing your job

Listen on

Episode notes

Have you ever struggled doing the smallest tasks? Putting a wash on, making time to see a friend or finding yourself on Slack trying to stay engaged? The latter is something Anne Helen Petersen likes to call “live action role playing your job” or “LARP-ing”. Sometimes these things feel impossible and it makes you feel like a terrible adult. But it’s actually more normal than you think and it’s most likely a sign of burnout. Petersen, author of Can't Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation joins Rebecca to explore the markers that lead to burnout and how to listen and let the stress flow out of you instead.
