Regardless of age, gender, status, or career path, burnout affects us all, and it has become increasingly challenging in our post-pandemic world. It's characterized not just by exhaustion, but by a profound loss of purpose and resilience. Shirley Leung, an award-winning business columnist and prominent voice at the Boston Globe. With accolades like four-time Gerald Loeb Award finalist and inclusion on Boston Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in Boston,” Shirley brings a wealth of experience and perspective to burnout, balancing her career with raising two sons. In this episode, we discuss why focusing on less and prioritizing quality is the key to more meaningful work, how we developed the habit of multitasking and why we need to redefine productivity, how technology might enable people to focus on more meaningful work, and choosing intentionality in how we allocate our time, rather than solely focusing on maximizing pay.
