— How Millennials Became The Burnout Generation, Anne Helen Petersen
Why do so many of us feel burnt out? Millennials report that with the popular rise of entrepreneurship and social media, the resulting “hustle culture” has created a distortion of reality in which work is a neverending priority in life. This has put many under the pressure to constantly work without taking breaks.
Millennials are keenly aware that time is the most precious and non-renewable resource that we all have. Everyone is in search of more time because there simply isn’t enough to check off everything on our daunting to-do lists. Everything in our day-to-day lives feels like a race against time.
