Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Episode 41 of The Burnout Podcast explores how the daily commute contributes to workplace exhaustion and what you can do about it. Lucas and Luna examine a 2024 Stanford study showing that every ten minutes of commute time increases burnout risk by 12 percent. They discuss the concept of 'commute shape shifting' — varying your route, mode, or timing to break the monotony — and offer five actionable strategies for remote and hybrid workers. The episode also touches on the rise of walk-to-work trends and how even a five-minute transition ritual can lower cortisol. Plus, a quick word on how listener support keeps the show ad-free.
