EOY post to self (and maybe others): ☝️Tiny betrayals of purpose contribute to chronic stress which leads to burnout. ✌️Burnout has unique dimensions. 👉 Recommit to your purpose by setting boundaries, reducing access, basking in wins and treating rest as the human right that it is.
Graphic illustration shows the hazards of journalism as yellow signage. These hazards contribute to personal betrayals of purpose, shown in a matchbox in the bottom right, which catches fire causing burnout as shown in a cloud of cynicism, exhaustion and ineffectiveness. To the left is a “toolkit” for workplace well-being, which includes a kaleidoscope to shift your perspective, a mirror to model healthy behaviors, a dictionary to have the right language and a ruler to measure success — all of which contributes to the fire extinguisher, which blows out the burnout. Illustration by artist Tina Marshall in Atlanta was designed to capture the conversations and feelings in the room during API’s Local News Summit on Mental Health and Sustainability in Oct. 2023.
