How I get stuff done (sustainably, while minimizing burning out)

In terms of priority and reflecting on the “worst case scenario” - I actually find it more helpful to think about the “realistic scenario”. Like, what is most likely going to happen if I don’t get this done? It prevents me from catastrophizing which is usually my default mode lol Likewise thinking about the best case scenario helps me get motivated

I love your content Mayuko. Its heart warming to talk about these issues

Some thoughts of mine as I'm getting old (at age 57) to get the things done: 1) Stop doing low-priotiry things or put them in queue (to forget), 2) As you're getting old you can get less things done with the same amount of time, and 3) OTOH, you still actually can get things done when you stay enough focused onto the things. Appendix: 4) don't waste your time on things you really don't feel like to do.

I find prioritizing rest helps. I've been on the edge of an autistic burnout for years. I know I can't afford that again because it happened before. Faith and rest are doing me a lot of good these days. And nurturing my close relationships.

Loved this deeper look at your thought process! It is easy to get overwhelmed with how many tasks we have to do and the expectations we set for ourselves. I think constantly adjusting and forgiving yourself helps.

Great tips Mayuko. I just finished talking about how to stay organized as a graduate student. I also love writing ideas, or thoughts in a notebook so I can refer back to them later.

The way you convey your learnings about self-care and escape from burn-out has really helped me fix a little bit my own overly strict and self-boicoting inner voice. Since several chronic health issues have kicked in, it’s difficult to learn to be an adult and stop thinking I’m a failure as my standards expected me to turn into an inhuman level of superhuman. So that means lowering my expectations to a human level and then reminding me my human type has some special needs to take into account. I see a lot of myself in you, so the way you tell yourself you are trying your best and that you shouldn’t do things the unhealthy way really resonates with me and I think it’s been easier to notice my innervoice turning self-destructing easier. Thanks for sharing your journey

best part of this video is Mayuko trying to say bubbles in an angry way.

@Mayuko, this really helped me. Thanks a lot 🙏

This was really helpful! I am very often very hard on myself for not keeping up with an ideal I have of myself. Took notes, working on this already.

These are genuinely the best and most practical tips I’ve even heard. This is mind blowing. Thank you Mayuko!

The last tip hit home. Thanks!
