TLDR: Kee's realising things, being the office's emotional dumping ground, an English B minus the anxiety. Who said you could add to my to-do list? Does saying "yes" in the moment hold you back in the long-run? And is there a way back to healthy workplace boundaries? This week, Kee and Lucy tell you exactly how to stop being a people pleaser at work.

In recent years, in the realms of self-improvement literature, Instagram influencers, and wellness gurus, an idea has taken hold: that in a non-stop world, the act of slowing down offers a path to better living. In this episode of Critics at Large, the staff writers Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz trace the rise of “slowness culture”—from Carl Honoré's 2004 manifesto to pandemic-era trends of mass resignations and so-called quiet quitting. The hosts discuss the work of Jenny Odell, whose books “How to Do Nothing” and “Saving Time” frame reclaiming one's time as a life-style choice with radical roots and revolutionary political potential. But how much does an individual's commitment to leisure pay off on the level of the collective? Is too much being laid at the feet of slowness? “For me, it's about reclaiming an aspect of humanness, just the experience of not having to make the most with everything we have all the time,” Schwartz says. “There can be a degree of self-defeating critique where you say, ‘Oh, well, this is only accessible to the privileged few.' And I think the better framing is, how can more people access that kind of sitting with humanness?”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation,” by Anne Helen Petersen (BuzzFeed)“How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy,” by Jenny Odell“Improving Ourselves to Death,” by Alexandra Schwartz (The New Yorker)“In Praise of Slowness: Challenging the Cult of Speed,” by Carl Honoré“The Sabbath,” by Abraham Joshua Heschel“Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond Productivity Culture,” by Jenny Odell“Slow Down: The Degrowth Manifesto,” by Kohei SaitoNew episodes drop every Thursday.

There's no doubt persistence and tenacity are great attributes and essential to running any business. But knowing when and how to quit is also an important and often overlooked skill.In this episode, Bo and Amy talk about quitting and how it can be a brilliant way to make space in your life and your business, to cut your losses and to move on. Like an old car that will keep draining your time and money, sometimes projects, relationships and even ideas are not worth persevering with. So, while grit and resilience are the buzzwords of the day, Bo and Amy think quitting is a skill we should all invest time in building.Links:Amy's reading ‘Can't Even; How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation' by Anne Helen PetersenAnd Fiona Killackey's book ‘Passion.

Once upon a time, you turned 30 and you already had it all: a spouse, a house, a job, and a passel of kids. But even before the Covid-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on our lives, thirtysomethings’ expectations for their own lives were changing, both by choice and by necessity. Today, they’re getting married later if at all, having fewer kids, taking on more debt, and moving back in with their parents. Is economic upheaval and inequality the primary force behind these shifts? And why do traditional landmarks like getting married still exert such a pull on our psyches? Journalist Kayleen Schaefer conducted hundreds of interviews with researchers and millennials across the country to understand how this generation is redefining adulthood.Go beyond the episode:Kayleen Schaefer’s But You're Still So Young: How Thirtysomethings Are Redefining AdulthoodOne landmark millennials do seem to be hitting?

Sinéad and Melissa are back home with their mics to talk through managing imposter syndrome and living life on our own terms. Happy new year, and stay safe!In this episode, we deep-dive into everything we learnt from the dumpster fire year that was 2020 (we promise there was something!), and how to complete your stress-cycle to avoid burnout. We turn, with radical hope, to 2021, and chat about how intentions are way more nourishing in tough times than new year's resolutions.

Millennials are often called the "hustle generation." They're famous for side gigging, bootstrapping, and burning out. But what really is hustling, and where did it come from? This week on Word Bomb, Pippa and Karina meet hustle culture at the source, investigating the way we talk about work-all the way from its Jim Crow-era roots to 1950s workaholism, 90s rap to Silicon Valley startups. There are so many articles on the phenomenon of millennial hustle culture, but you might want to start with Anne Helen Petersen's "How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation"(https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/annehelenpetersen/millennials-burnout-generation-debt-work) and Erin Griffith's ,Why Are Young People Pretending to Love Work?, (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/26/business/against-hustle-culture-rise-and-grind-tgim.html) For more reading on the Black roots of the word "hustle" and how the word has been co-opted by startup culture, we recommend checking out this great 2020 article (https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2020/04/03/826015780/when-the-hustle-isnt-enough) from Isabella Rosario of NPR's Code Switch, as well as Lester Spence's book Knocking the Hustle: Against the Neoliberal Turn in Black Politics.

Last season, I covered Anne Helen Peterson's article: "How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation" and Tiana Clark's response about burnout in the black community. That made me think about all of the ways that our identities intersect with how we experience work, fatigue, and everything in between. So this season, I'll be interviewing people to talk about burnout from diverse perspectives. I'm so excited to start with this interview with my friends Katie and Ali here in Salt Lake City. We talk about queerness, pride, and how being out can affect your work-life. We'll also talk about ways to address burnout and the largest systemic problems that cause it. One way is to donate to Rest for Resistance. Run by the organization QTPOC Mental Health , "Rest for Resistance strives to uplift marginalized communities, those who rarely get access to adequate health care or social support. This includes Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Pacific Islander, Asian, Middle Eastern, and multiracial persons. We also seek to create healing space for LGBTQIA+ individuals, namely trans & queer people of color, as well as other stigmatized groups such as sex workers, immigrants, persons with physical and/or mental disabilities, and those living at the intersections of all of the above. Our team of editors, seven trans people of color, seek to honor each contributor's vision and individual perspective in order to create space for raw experiences that are too often silenced.

Let’s talk about chores. One of us likes them and one of us doesn’t, which is probably an accurate sampling of the general population.

This week is a bumper special tackling the one issue everyone (not just women!) should be talking about this week: Abortion rights. As Alabama passes the most restrictive abortion laws in the United States as a direct attack on Roe v. Wade, we speak directly to YOU, our listeners, about how access to safe and affordable abortion has impacted your life. We also look at the surprisingly restrictive abortion laws that exist in New South Wales, and the ongoing debacle in Northern Ireland.

The college admissions cheating scandal is filling the news lately. I led a college prep high school for 14 years and put three daughters through college myself, so I’ve got some experience in that admissions game. Yes, the college admissions scandal is about cheating. Yes, the college admissions scandal is about wealthy people having a big advantage over 90% of American families trying to get into elite colleges. But these are really just symptoms of a deeper and more important problem: our society’s relentless pursuit of Unhappiness. We are teaching our kids to chase shiny things like status, money, being a starting player on the best travel ball team, getting the most followers on social media, wearing the right brands… And getting into elite colleges. We teach our kids to chase these things not because our children will develop into their best self, but because it is socially prestigious. It’s an indicator that our kids are “successful”. It’s an indicator that we are “successful” parents. That’s the deeper, more important problem. Chasing shiny things in life is making our kids depressed and killing them. How bad is it? Suicide is the second leading cause of death for people ages 10 to 34. The rate of depression among young people increased 63% from 2009 to 2017. 40% of college kids in spring 2017 said they experienced depression so deep it was difficult for them to function. Those are statistics. Go read the article, How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation by Anne Helen Peterson to get a feel for what we’re setting our kids up for. The author is a 34-year-old “successful” millennial who has spent her life chasing what she’s been told to chase, and she is burned out. Miserable. Deeply unhappy. Read the article and feel her pain. The article resonates with young people because it captures their life experience. They’ve chased everything we’ve told them to chase and they are burned out. Miserable. Deeply unhappy. Here’s what is most surprising: In 8,000 words about life, the millennial author never mentions the word Happiness. Never mentions relationship. Never talks about fulfillment in life. It’s like no one ever told her that life is about Happiness. It doesn’t seem to be in her frame of reference. We have more education and wealth than ever in human history, yet the suicide and depression rates are skyrocketing. We’re quite literally teaching our kids to chase shiny things in life that destroy them psychologically, spiritually and physically. All in the name of attending the elite academic or athletic school. All in the chase for shiny things that we call “success”. All in a relentless pursuit of Unhappiness. What’s the answer? We need to teach our kids the real meaning of life—Happiness—and how to pursue it. This week I visited my friend, Dave, who just had a tumor removed from his brain. He showed me what looked like a hundred staples running across his head. Fortunately, the tumor was benign. When he was diagnosed, hundreds of friends came to visit. While he was in surgery, more than 60 people gathered and prayed for him at the hospital. His family, friends, partners and employees were all behind him because they love him. Dave told me he was ok if the tumor was malignant because he knew that life and Happiness are all about good relationships—with yourself, with your friends and family, and with your Creator. Dave has those relationships. Dave is facing a deep life-challenge, and he’s never been more fulfilled. There’s an 80-year ongoing Harvard Study on Adult Development that backs him on that. It’s very clear: Happiness does not come from money or power or status or education. Happiness comes from high-quality relationships. Period. Our society profoundly misses that Truth about Happiness and life. You can’t win by swimming against the societal rip-tide. It’s too powerful. But you can swim out the side of the rip-tide.

Adulting is a tricky thing for anyone, regardless of their age. Sometimes it just takes a little too much out of you. What do you do when you feel like you aren’t adulting well enough, but everyone around you thinks you just want reassurance? Ben and Becky discuss a lot of different things related to adulting. In addition to things that would make their lives easier, they discuss blue-sky ideas like basic income and flexible work weeks, and the idea that you don’t have as many hours in your day as Beyoncé. Finish off with some of their thoughts on how you can support friends and family who are feeling this way.

We are celebrating our four-year anniversary on the pod! Yowza! Thank you so much for your continued support. It means the world to Karima and me. In this celebratory episode, Karima and I are chatting about a symptom that many Millennials seem to be suffering from and don't even realize it – Millennial burnout. We also touch upon the issue of perfectionism that many lawyers find themselves grappling with. Must we spend hours reviewing a simple email out of fear of sending a less-than-perfect draft? We round out the conversation by exploring what “self-care” really means and if it truly lives up to its promise.

Despite the large number of benefits they’ve put into the world, technologies like email, iPhones, and instant messaging have blurred the lines between when we are and aren’t available for work. So on today’s show, BuzzFeed News’s Anne Helen Petersen, author of the hugely viral article How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation, talks about how we can avoid the creep of digital burnout that’s coming for all of us, regardless of our generational identity. Then, Liz and Rico help listeners Joan, who’s looking to leave a new job after she was misled in a drawn-out interview process, and Erika, who can’t stand using her company’s instant messenger of choice. And we debate whether or not it’s a good idea to use a gimmick to get your foot in the door when applying to a job.You can read more of Anne Helen Petersen’s work at BuzzFeed News.As always, if you've got a burning workplace question and need some advice, don't hesitate to send us an email (that email, unsurprisingly, is also Safe@Wondery.com).

"Just over 50% of journalists said they were 'overwhelmed' by information during their working day and wanted to 'explore solutions' to make it more manageable." That's the headline finding from John Crowley's survey on digital journalism and burnout, for the European Journalism Centre's News Impact Network. John's now a freelance digital journalist and consultant, but his career began 20 years ago, as an editorial assistant on The Irish Post newspaper in London. He worked in that newsroom - which only had one computer with access to the internet - for five years, gaining lots of reporting experience and a few good anecdotes along the way. Since then, he's edited on newspapers that were going digital, and been in charge of digital newsrooms for The Wall Street Journal, International Business Times UK and Newsweek. He joins the podcast to talk about the causes of burnout in newsrooms, how this can affect freelancers trying to pitch, and what could help.
