Overwhelmed? You are not alone. The always-on digital workplace has seeped into every nook and cranny of time, bombarding brains to the limits of cognitive load. In Work Smarter, Live Better, work-life balance leader, trainer, and speaker Joe Robinson shows how you can rein in the 24/7 by using the science and best practices to work smarter, set boundaries on an unbounded world, manage the mind and certifiable thoughts that drive stress, and put the fullest life on the agenda.

Joe Robinson has appeared on CNN and All Things Considered, and in Time, Entrepreneur, the Los Angeles Times, Fast Company, and dozens of other media outlets to discuss how to break out of the burnout cycle and refuel brains and bodies. He has brought the tools of sustainable performance to overwhelmed professionals in work-life balance and stress management trainings and keynotes for organizations from IBM to Pfizer, Ocean Spray, and the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. Robinson has seen on the frontlines of working America what happens when we go beyond the limits of our physiology—burnout to, breakdowns. There is a healthier and more productive way to work.

Learn why overwork doesn’t work and that there is no association between workaholism and productivity. Set the terms of engagement with devices so that they can’t rattle your survival equipment. Control interruptions that make you lose the ability to regulate impulsivity and shrink your attention span. Stay calm in the storm by not taking the bait of stress. Look at your thoughts, not from them. Get strategies to speak up when you are overwhelmed. Find out how the stages of burnout mirror those of depression. Learn how to overcome the time-on-task effect of strain and fatigue. Brains don’t respond well to the battering-ram approach. Reboot mind and body by leaving work at work with the science of work recovery—detaching from work and thoughts of work after the workday is done. Get practical and inspiring workarounds that will change your work, mind, and put that thing we’re all working for—a gratifying life—on the calendar.
