#60 Little Changes Make the Biggest Difference

Welcome back to another edition of Addicted to Busy! This week’s episode is all about battling burnout and finding those little moments that make a world of difference in a chaotic schedule. I hope it inspires you to make small shifts that help keep your energy up, especially during these busy weeks.

What's In This Episode:

It can be easy to think that tackling burnout means taking on even more—doing more to “fix” the overload. But sometimes, the most productive thing we can do is just the opposite: take a beat, step back, and breathe.

  1. Put Yourself First to Be More Productive Later
    It took me years to realize that productivity isn’t about squeezing in more tasks—it’s about recharging first. When you prioritize your own well-being, you become more effective and make fewer mistakes in the long run.

  2. A 15-Minute Walk Can Shift Your Mindset
    A quick walk can be a game-changer, especially during a busy day. Imagine going through your toughest week but building in a daily 15-minute walk without your phone. This small habit changes how you approach each task, making you feel more centered and less reactive.

  3. Small Moments of Mindfulness
    If taking a big break seems out of reach, start with smaller moments. Try breathing deeply while your lunch heats up or as you wash your hands. Moments like these give you a chance to reset, even when everything feels nonstop.

And here’s a little teaser: want to learn what a “Sunshine Break” is and how it can help during overwhelming days? This episode has got you covered. 😊

Don’t Wait to Recharge

It’s budgeting season, which means the work is nonstop and the stress can sneak up fast. Don’t wait until you’re already burned out to start taking care of yourself. Building in small, proactive breaks can help you show up feeling refreshed and ready, no matter how much is on your plate.
