Episode 13: Burned Out, No Vacation: Micro-Rest for Deadline Seasons

Hello, Visionista in Action!

Welcome back, Visionistas in Action. If you’re running on fumes but can’t step away—deadlines, launches, or finances won’t let you—this episode is your refuel plan. I’ll walk you through a realistic micro-rest system (the 3×8 Rule) so you can protect focus and sanity without abandoning your work.

Reflection Prompts:

1. Where does burnout live in your body right now? (tight jaw, heavy chest, foggy head?)

2. What belief is keeping you from resting? (“If I pause, everything will fall apart.”)

3. What do you actually need in the next 10 minutes to feel 5% better?

This Week’s Mindful Strategies:

1. Reframe → Micro-Rest (3×8 Rule)

This Week’s Action Steps.:

1. Book the 3×8: Add three 8-minute micro-rests to your calendar for the next five workdays.

2. Set One Sabbath Pocket: Choose one 30-minute no-screen window this week (walk, latte, breath).

3. Send One Boundary Note: Let your team/clients know your focused-block response time today.

4. Document it!: Each evening jot one line: “Micro-rest that helped most today: ___.”
