Lightning Talk – John Epperson
summary
Burnout lasts about seven years here; recovery begins last summer after long daily shower meditation and constant background YouTube and podcast listening. Core claim: overwhelm happens when external challenges exceed internal capacity, not just too many tasks. Concrete pivots: reframe expectations (wife and newborn then a breast cancer diagnosis), change some outside expectations into inside commitments, and deliberately add desired tasks rather than only subtracting—this produces measurable life improvement as a result of trying the change.
