On this episode of Focused, Mike and I work through a batch of listener questions on burnout. Can a hobby burn out the same way work can? What do you do with the guilt of slowing down?

We also get into Joan Westenberg’s essay about deleting her 10,000-note second brain and whether PKM is a resource or just a second attic. In Deep Focus, Mike finally has a meditation practice that’s sticking. He built the app himself in Claude Code.
