Recommended tools for your burnout recovery

Ideally the items below will be used as part of your 12 week learning programme with Burnout Geese - that is where they will be most effective.
But you could get the items below before or after you join us.

A wall planner


One of the biggest challenges in tackling burnout is having
  • a clear time frame in mind of when any course with us will end and when burnout will begin to shift
  • a way of planning ahead - something people with burnout have often avoided for so long that they need some encouragement
  • a way of ensuring regular breaks ( holidays, retreats, weekends away, time with friends and family can all be scheduled in and "gaps" in rest and recreation easily spotted.
  • a way of protecting time for focusing on burnout recovery - you can put in our regular burnout call in's and webinars ( we suggest code colour orange or blue)

We like people to use a wall planner when they are on one of our burnout elimination programmes -  if they are willing - This one fits the bill perfectly but any year planner is better than no year planner where getting out of burnout is concerned.

It is A1 size and so it is easy to add things with extra space for each month at the bottom. It comes  as paper or laminated ( we prefer the latter with some water based pens). 
​
This tiny investment can give big dividends especially if you have also joined our Making Sense of Burnout Programme. ( please note the latter can only be joined after a one to one assess,explore and plan zoom consultation)

A sleep tracker

Fitbit

One of the body functions that suffers considerably during burnout is sleep
One can go to bed at a reasonable hour - be in bed ( apparently asleep) yet 
  • still have trouble getting out of bed
  • still feel unrefreshed in the morning
  • still feel as if one hasn't had a wink of sleep

There are a wide range of Fitbits and if you already have one or something similar that produces a sleep trace like this ( with awake/REM/Light/Deep) you won't need this item.

But if you don't have one and you are serious about understanding burnout and would like a visual picture of how your sleep is being affected by burnout and then to see how that changes over time once you are working with the geese - this is the recommended fitbit to get. Some of the cheaper ones ( and non fitbits) do not produce the same quality or detail in the trace.

​It is not the most expensive but it does the job ( and several other jobs) really well.

Again - once you are on our supported Making Sense of Burnout programme - we can have discussions about your traces.
