A simple weekly rhythm that protects your energy without compromising the care you provide.
Schedule rest like a medication
If rest isn't on the calendar, it doesn't happen. Block two two-hour windows per week where someone else — a family member, a respite service — is on duty. Non-negotiable.
Outsource the logistics, not the love
You don't need to be the one who calls the pharmacy, schedules transport, or fights with insurance. Those are concierge tasks. Save your energy for presence.
Watch for the early signs
Sleep disruption, irritability with the person you're caring for, skipped meals. These are the early flags. Address them in the first week you notice them, not the third.
Key takeaways
- •Two protected rest windows per week, on the calendar.
- •Outsource logistics; protect presence.
- •Treat early burnout signs as urgent, not eventual.
