No matter how much work I did, it never felt enough.
discussed the idea of a “toxic productivity echochamber” in one of her videos. Reflecting on the voice in her head that makes her feel like she should be constantly working, Cornwell states that this voice has become “louder and louder, which I have realised means that I, alike most of Gen Z have got stuck, trapped, and imprisoned in the toxic productivity echochamber.”
It may sound dramatic but it was only when I got to university and was able to look back at my school experience that I realised how unhappy and burnt out I had been. I had been trapped in the toxic productivity echochamber myself.People may tell you to take an evening off, have a bath, and stick on a face mask, but I don’t think it's as simple as that.
The way I approach work now is completely different. Here are my top tips for how I have overcome academic burnout:I don’t mean don’t work hard, but working hard doesn’t necessarily mean 12-hour days, no lunch breaks, and answering emails all evening.

It changed my path but I wouldn’t be where I am today if that hadn’t have happened. In the end, the thing I feared the most happened and I was OK.
When we are faced with a challenge it feels like being at the bottom of the mountain but remind yourself that you have been there before and have managed to climb it and reach the top.
