Today we are talking about a term that started on TikTok, called "Quiet Quitting." And yes, I had to look up what it meant, and who started it, and no, I'm not on TikTok, but I digress.

And I think many of us may have had the experience of saying "to hell with it!" and throwing our hands up in despair during periods of burnout, and perhaps cutting down on our work in some way. But in my experience, we don't succeed with actually doing less, and often end up feeling guilty and lazy, rather than relaxed and balanced. So let's dive in and discuss, shall we?
