Description
In this episode of The Burnout Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore how chronic workplace exhaustion distorts your perception of time—making days feel endless yet weeks vanish. Drawing on a 2023 study from the Journal of Applied Psychology, they discuss how burnout compresses your temporal horizon, leaving you unable to plan or recall. Lucas shares a concrete example from a software engineer who felt trapped in a perpetual Monday, and Luna offers a simple recovery practice called 'time anchoring' to reset your internal clock. No fluff, just actionable insight.
