Welcome to the Burned-Out Overachiever’s Lab
If you’re here, odds are you’re not lazy, lost, or unmotivated. You’re probably exhausted because you’ve been carrying too much for too long. Over-working. Over-functioning. Over-thinking. Over-responsibility. Over-explaining. Over-achieving your way straight into burnout. This Lab is about identifying the patterns that are quietly draining you and experiments that you can try to fill up your reserves to find some peace. So let’s start with something simple and revealing. Answer one of these honestly: What are you secretly tired of proving right now? Where in your life are you the most capable person in the room and also the most resentful? What feels heavy that technically “shouldn’t”? Drop your answer in the comments. Reading other responses is part of the work.

What are you secretly tired of proving right now? That I delegate. I don't understand why everyone on my team keeps climbing up my a$$ saying that I need to delegate, don't delegate, or am bad at delegating. I have one person I can truly delegate to, and I am pretty good at delegating to her. At one point when I wasn't she and I had a talk about it and I realized she was ready for more, so I dished more to her until she said 'plate is full, stop'. She's behind on a couple of projects that I did delegate to her, but I am getting crap from my colleagues on the Senior Leadership Team for 'not delegating more' but come on... there is only so much I can delegate. I probably wouldn't be so overwhelmed or need to delegate so much if my leader would choose a direction and stick to it instead of constantly changing course and making my work worthless because the direction has changed. But hey... I'm not bitter or anything. 😄

Hi all, I'd like to do a weekly coffee chat on Tuesdays. I'm curious as to what time works best for you all?

I mean I want to say anything but 8:30, but realistically if I want to be there at 830, I will make it work (and get out of bed earlier).
