Work Less, Achieve More: The Science of Breaks

Burnout doesn’t hit all at once — it builds quietly.
If you’ve been grinding nonstop, losing motivation, or feeling guilty when you rest… this video is the reset you didn’t know you needed.

I break down the real psychology behind burnout, why high-performers struggle with it the most, and how creators, entrepreneurs, and students can use micro breaks + long-term breaks to protect their creativity, energy, and mental clarity.

Most people treat break like a reward. Consistent high performers treat it like a strategy.

In this video, you’ll learn:
• What burnout actually is (not what social media says)
• Why passion makes you more vulnerable
• The 2 types of breaks every creator needs
• How micro breaks increase focus + creativity
• How long-term breaks reset your system
• Why "just checking email" destroys your recovery
• A quick Stanford-backed breathing method that instantly lowers stress

If you're someone who cares deeply about your work, this will help you build a healthier relationship with productivity — without losing your ambition.
