Burnout is related to what we can't control
Burnout, the condition when work makes us mentally, emotionally and physically drained, is not necessarily due to working long, stressful hours.
Burnout is not an issue with people working on their own startup or doing things they love, as they are not dancing to the tune of the deadlines imposed by others, but doing what they want to do, for themselves. Burnout happens when things are not in our control.

Divergent thinking and playfulness
Research found that divergent thinking is linked to playfulness and creativity.
Children who play more tend to display curiosity, persistence, nonconformity, and a willingness to take risks. These are important characteristics for innovative solutions.
Divergent thinking can be practiced
- Mind mapping helps your brain work by association. Start in the centre and add notes, connecting branches together.
- Brainstorming. Generate as many ideas as possible.
- Free writing. Focus on the question and write without stopping for a specified time.
- Journaling. It helps to clarify your thinking while producing new ideas.
- Art. Doodling, painting, creating graphs and illustrations will help you think outside the box.

Optimism Bias And Temporal Discounting
- Optimism Bias is when we are sure about the success of a certain project or venture and do not take into account the scenarios of failure.
- Temporal Discounting is a cognitive error where we make decisions taking into account the present condition, and not bothering about any future consequences.
Having A Pre-Mortem Meeting
Just one ‘Pre-Mortem’ meeting at the beginning of the project can uncover many blind spots, recalibrating the mindset of all the team members.
Anticipating the future also fosters honest and open communication, and quells any fear.
