CONNECTIONS: Why is it so hard to avoid burnout? (podcast)

On a recent episode of WXXI’s Connections with Evan Dawson, science writer Elizabeth Svoboda joined the program to discuss why so many people struggle to balance packed schedules, endless to-do lists and the need to avoid burnout. Svoboda, author of “The Art of Pacing: A Guide to Balancing Short-Term Demands with Long-Term Thriving,” explored the science behind how people structure their days and why modern habits, including hours spent scrolling social media, can make that balance even harder to achieve. The conversation examines practical ways to better manage short-term demands while protecting the time and energy needed for long-term well-being.
