Not Lazy, Just Depleted: A Workbook for Spotting High-Functioning Burnout and Rebuilding Your Energy

You're still getting everything done. That's exactly why no one, including you, noticed how depleted you've become.

Not Lazy, Just Depleted is a workbook for spotting high-functioning burnout before it wins, and rebuilding your energy without quitting your job, your family, or your life. No dramatic reset required, just an honest look at where your energy actually goes, and a realistic plan to protect what's left.

Inside this 40-page workbook

• A Two-Minute Energy Check for an honest snapshot before you read a single chapter
• Part One, The Mask: what high-functioning burnout looks like from the inside, tired vs. depleted, and your personal warning signs
• Part Two, The Audit: an energy map of your week, the hidden drains nobody budgets for, and a full 7-Day Energy Log
• Part Three, The Rebuild: true non-negotiables, micro-recovery, redesigning your week, and renegotiating one commitment
• Part Four, The Maintenance Plan: an early-warning checklist, a plan for hard weeks, and a 30-day energy tracker
• Closing tools: a Recovery Menu sized to 5, 10, 20 and 60 minutes, a one-page energy summary, and your own Energy Contract
