111: Burnout and Phone Addiction
Show Notes – Episode 111: Burnout and Phone Addiction
In episode 111 of Lady Journey the ladies have a game-changing cup of tea and chat about Katie’s ongoing struggle with burnout, Sarah’s battle with scrolling, and general phone addiction.
Scrolling
Sarah continues her journey to disentangle herself from her scrolling habit with a social media diet. She read about an information diet in The Artists Way and applied it to her screen time. Katie took twitter and IG off her phone and hasn’t been as bad about scrolling. But she still gets sucked in when she’s tired. The ladies relate scrolling to the feeling of seeking approval that they sometimes run into when performing stand up.
Burnout
Katie’s on journey of managing chronic burnout. She felt the an all time high of mental stability during the pandemic. Now that the world is back in swing, she feels challenged by her old patterns of overworking. (Especially during the 3pm drop off.) But she’s continuing to develop an awareness of her energy level as well as other healthy coping mechanisms.
Takeaways
- If you see a celebrity doing instagram live all the time, she’s extremely lonely.
- Creative work takes more brain power than administrative work.
