Type A personalities push hard and rarely slow down, which makes them prone to stress and exhaustion. To prevent burnout, actually put short breaks and downtime on your calendar, just like you would for an important meeting.
For example: block off 15 minutes after back-to-back calls to stretch, grab water, or just step outside. Treat it as non-negotiable.
Those small resets help you perform better and protect your health long-term.
