This week has been chaotic. In Chapter Five of The Diary of a CEO I flew back to the UK for an incredibly busy week filled with podcast interviews, speaking appointments, pitching to one of our biggest clients as well as filming an advert campaign. The chaos of this week lead me to thinking about the concept of burnout and the fact that right now, we are the burnout generation; the generation constantly trying to become more efficient so that we can free up time to then fill with things that make us more busy. We are the generation that has replaced quality time with things that take less time... more of that in this episode. I also discuss our need for control in life and why we need to assess what really matters. If we truly think about it, there is only one thing that we can be 100% certain of, that is inevitably going to happen to us all...We should stop caring about strangers opinions and sweating the small stuff and instead focus on what makes us happy. Lastly, I talk through our need for rules. We are always looking to apply rules to our lives that we should follow in order to achieve success in what we want. But we are all different, and following rules set for other people is a dangerous game that can only lead to one thing... failure.
