The Burnout of Passion Projects That Dont Restore You
Season 1
Episode 21
Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
Lucas and Luna explore why passion projects often lead to more exhaustion rather than recovery. Using the example of a graphic designer who turned his side hustle into a second job, they unpack the concept of 'passion project burnout' and what separates a truly restorative hobby from just another obligation. They discuss research on attentional recovery, the difference between active and passive restoration, and practical ways to keep your side project a source of energy rather than a drain. Episode 21 of The Burnout Podcast.
