Episode 6 - Q&A Burnout Prevention

In this episode of Design Office Hours, I answer a question that comes up more often than you'd expect: "What helps you prevent burnout or manage stress when designing?" If you're in design school, just starting your first job, or feeling like you're running on fumes, this one's for you.   Here's what I cover: How staying organized helps you gain clarity and calm Why context is the antidote to overwhelm The power of non-design hobbies (and yes, I talk about cycling uphill) Why meditation is like tuning your mental operating system The role of people: mentors, managers, classmates, and your personal "kitchen cabinet" What changes when you move from school to work—and how to adapt without overextending   Burnout is real. And while design can be intense, it doesn't have to break you. These are strategies I've lived and learned—some the hard way.   Got a follow-up question?
