(it's usually better than pushing ourselves to keep working!). But it tends not to yield great recovery outcomes.
Research on recovery shows there is a better alternative: "mastery" activities, those that develop skills and have potential to generate pride and accomplishment. 2/4

Research shows that microbreaks help you to maintain energy levels throughout the day. They can also help you maintain focus and concentration -- and in some cases they can help you to review your goals and make sure you are focused on the right things! 2/4

#Recovember Day 2: Make a meaningful connection!
Meaningful connections are good for wellbeing. Connecting with friends and family can help you feel supported, especially if you're struggling. But if you're already burned out, deliberate efforts to reconnect can be even more important! 1/3

November 01: Reflect on your personal boundaries.
If you've seen a pattern of situations that regularly make you feel stressed, frustrated, or overwhelmed, then you might be able to reduce these experiences by setting #Boundaries.
That pattern is the key to identifying a healthy boundary.

It's #worldmentalhealthday2025 (10.10.25)
A great day to ask about what your organisation is doing to integrate different approaches to supporting employee mental health -- and to push forward on whatever is the next top priority!

Shills for the corporation stated using “quiet quitting” to shame workers for only doing what they’re paid to do. Now they’ve coined the phrase “micro-retirement” to shame workers for taking vacations.
I expect we’re soon to be told that cashing our paycheck is “soft stealing”.

Time for some local flavour. Australia has more than one kind of “bluey”. This creature I just encountered in my backyard is a form of blue-tongued lizard (aka blue-tongued skink) of the genus Tiliqua.

Disconnect... or risk becoming disconnected!
The big IR, HR, & WHS news in Australia this week is the new legislation on the right to disconnect. I think this may be just the sort of approach we need to manage our current epidemic of #burnout .
