How I built a better self-care plan to prevent burnout and my 2024 Hobonichi Original A6 set-up

Hello, friends! I hope you are doing well. In this week’s video, I’ll be setting up my “fun” Hobonichi Original Techo (A6) while talking about how I built a better self-care plan for myself in 2023 that I’ll be taking with me into the new year. I’ll be covering my (working) understanding of burnout and self-care based on my research on these topics so far. I’ve also included some resources I used while researching this area, but this is not an exhaustive list! I expect my understanding will evolve and change as I continue learning more about these important topics.
