3:13 – The second symptom is cynicism and depersonalization
4:20 – The third and most difficult to spot symptom is professional efficacy, or a feeling like you and your work are not good enough
6:01 – When you tried to compensate for feeling like you’re bad at your job or not meeting expectations, it can actually fed into the cycle of burnout

8:46 – Over time, burnout can change your brain and make it harder to regulate your emotions and stress response
10:16 – To combat and prevent burnout, evaluate when you’re putting your energy and how you’re expending your energy
11:25 – Oftentimes, we are the ones putting unnecessary stress on ourselves

15:34 – By being intentional about when you say no, you can make sure you have the time and energy to say yes to the projects that really serve your organization
16:36 – Thinking about your goals is another way to combat burnout, as we can get stuck in the same stressful trajectory
17:30 – If you find yourself in a position that doesn’t align with your values or goals, have the courage to say reevaluate and say no
18:50 – You can practice saying no in low stakes situations
19:32 – You can also practice the 24-hour rule to give yourself more time to evaluate a situation before saying yes or no
21:30 – There are also alternatives to saying no, like telling someone you need to shift your priorities or that if you do one task, it means you won’t be able to get to another
22:54 – To combat burnout, you need to REST, or recognize, evaluate, say no, and take care of yourself
33:00 – You can’t focus on everything at once, so be intentional about how you use your time
