How to Take Back Your Time and Beat Burnout

Work It Like A Mum

In this Work It Like a Mum episode, we chat with Vikki Yaffe, founder of the Time Hackers program. Vicky shares her journey from overworked tech founder to intentional entrepreneur, revealing how she went from skipping her honeymoon for work to taking months off to travel through Thailand and Singapore.

Key Highlights:

From Burnout to Balance: Once clocking 80+ hours a week, Vikki experienced severe burnout before refocusing on a coaching career prioritising balance and well-being.

- Time Hacking Secrets: She offers her top strategies for reclaiming time.

- Mindset Shifts: How to use your brain as a powerful time-management tool.

- Intentional Choices: Prioritise rest, say no, and slow down to achieve more.

Key Takeaways:

1. Overwork Today = Overwork Tomorrow: Vikki explains how overworking now doesn’t create more time later but instead traps you in a burnout cycle.

2. The Brain is Your #1 Tool: Success isn’t about doing more but thinking more intentionally about your goals and time.

3. True Balance Leads to More Success: Setting boundaries and stepping back can fuel faster, more sustainable progress.
