A lot of people talk about getting burned out, and I get it.

Rest is crucial. But a lot of people are burning out at the psychological level. And many don’t even do that much with their time and still find a way to get overwhelmed.

They try to control their thoughts, and in doing so interfere with the normal functioning of thoughts that come and go. They allow their thoughts to spin like a washing machine on a high setting.

• Churning.
• Grinding.
• Overheating.

Only to spit out wet rags at the end of it. The antidote to an overwhelmed mind is this:

• Stay curious.
• Stay open.
• Be intolerant to stressful thoughts, even if it’s tempting.
• Don’t work. Play.

It’s rarely about how much work you’re taking on (though don’t try to do more than one thing at a time)… It’s about how you use the mind.

If you can use the mind well, you have a tremendous advantage in life and business. A well-used mind is one that you don’t interfere with.

Stay curious. Refuse to do more than one thing at a time. Find a way to have fun. You can’t lose.
