“I desperately needed a designer who understood my off-the-path industry and knew the audience I was trying to reach. Miranda was the perfect match! In the past, I’ve had to painfully explain my industry to designers that didn’t have any context for what I was doing, nor did they really care to learn.”

Cute things from last weekend’s Vancouver Island adventure. Missing you, @dan_ropes ❤️ #vancouverisland #cathedralgrove

A few months ago it hit me that I was working all the time but felt like I was never getting anything done. I was exhausted and felt I had no control over my schedule. I was frustrated with my industry as a whole. “Everything looks the same,” was my jaded response when people wanted to talk shop (followed by an eye roll, of course). When my dad told me it sounded like a classic case of burnout, I told him I was too young to be burned out. Then I googled "burnout" and realized how fucking burned out I was.

I’m still a work in progress and always will be, but I wanted to share a few things that have helped me since I know I’m not the only one struggling with this. 🔮Tend to the feeling. If your body is telling you “I can’t do social media anymore”, stop doing social media for a little while. Sit out the next networking event. Give yourself time and space to figure out what healing for you even looks like. All those things will still be there when you’re ready for them (confession—you will probably never catch me at a networking event). 🔮Work fewer hours. Rather than pushing through a 10 hour day and feeling like you only got 5 hours of work done, just work 5 super productive hours. And use at least one of those extra hours to get some exercise. 🔮 Eliminate the word "busy" from your vocabulary. Focus on the wild idea that there's more than enough time to do all the things. Because there is. 🔮Get a morning routine. I'm not a morning person and I've been resisting this idea my whole life. But I heard that reading for 15 minutes a day can reduce your stress levels by 60%, so I gave it a chance. Reading in bed with coffee is now my favourite thing. It makes my weekdays feel like weekends and everything that follows seems a little lighter. 🔮Acknowledge the fact that none of your deadlines are life or death. Unless you're literally saving lives, there's no reason for your work to put you into panic mode. They can wait. Your health is more important.

Your turn. What are some of the things you to do avoid / tend to feelings of burnout?

Happy birthday @dan_ropes, you sweet Taurean soul. I’ve officially known you over half your life now, and I can honestly say you keep getting better with age. Love you! xo
Also, early Mother’s Day shout to @ruby_braithwaite—thank you for making this incredible human. 💕
