Hard Stop

You're not lazy, and you're not tired.

A daily coach for work burnout, built for people who can't step back from the job.

Most burnout advice assumes you can take a sabbatical, change careers, or “set boundaries” with someone who controls your bonus.

This is for the other situation. The one where you're staying — for now — and need something that works inside the week you actually have.

If some of this is familiar

  • The Sunday drop that starts at 4pm, while there's still light
  • Opening Slack at 11pm — not to reply, just to check nothing's on fire
  • Relief at a cancelled meeting that's wildly out of proportion to the meeting
  • Knowing, to the month, how long you could survive on savings
  • Being good at it, and that being the part nobody lets you complain about

Then you already know what this is for.

Two minutes a day, not another thing to fail at

What it isn't

This is evidence-based coaching, not therapy. It isn't a therapist, it doesn't diagnose, and it isn't a substitute for professional care.

What it works from is the published research on occupational burnout — and the World Health Organization's own framing of it in ICD-11, as an occupational phenomenon arising from chronic workplace stress that hasn't been successfully managed. Answers cite their source.

If things are worse than tired, please talk to your GP, or contact the Samaritans free on 116 123, any time.
