PLAN GOAL PLAN | Goals, Transformation for Women, Mindful Time Management, Balance, Working Moms · Why Doesn't Rest Work for High Achievers? 5 Recovery Mistakes to Stop Making | Ep. 305 · 28 Jul 2026 podcast

So one of the things that kind of came into play for me is when I was really burnt out, when I was demoralized, when I kind of hit this moment where I was like, Oh my gosh, I've spent my whole adult life working towards tenure, I got it, so what, now what, all of that.

My initial

response to that was okay, what are the habits that I need to create to optimize my way out of this?

And I got obsessed about it.

Like I read all these books about morning routines.

I watched all the YouTube videos.

I was trying on all these different journaling techniques.

And I learned a lot.

I'm glad that I had that period of I'll call it experimentation.

But there is a lot of me that really just believed that I could optimize or have it

Yeah.

my way out of burnout.

And one of the biggest mistakes that I see so many high achievers, women in particular, do when it comes to rest is that we treat rest and recovery like it's a project.

So we schedule the rest the way that we schedule deliverables.

We block the time, we execute the task, we check the box.

But the problem with this is that rest isn't a deliverable.

And you can't will your nervous system into restoration on a timeline.

I've really learned that real self-leadership requires me to be able to discern when to move and when to stop.

And how do I do that without abandoning myself?
