I saw a tweet fly past last week about exhaustion; it said something like “exhaustion is the biggest contributor to poor performance at work.” Anyway, here’s Nicholas’s way of showing the cycle, and what to do about it:

Tired…
Poor decisions on well-being…
Fatigued…
Longer hours to solve anything…
Stressed and not realising it…
Losing enjoyment of Life. ..
Dis-empowered. Everything is ‘they’.

Top tip: recognise when you are tired. And stop.
