The Burnout Buster Plan

Your Way Out of Burnout

(One that Actually Works!)

Burnout can strike anywhere, anytime - it doesn't take much to trigger it. Once you're stuck in it, there might not seem to be a way out. The things that overwhelm you can seem impossible to change. And yet, there's a proven set of actions that can release you from the tyranny of overload!

“What got you into burnout can never get you out.” — David Vugteveen

Here are the simple steps that you'll learn from the Burnout Buster Plan, steps that can set you free:

  • Discover all of your real work

  • Learn to say "no" - to almost everything!

  • Get help, when and where you need it

  • Sleep well, recover well

  • Learn to work the way that's best for you

Let's look at what burnout is, and how you can learn to overcome it.

If you're in Burnout, you've probably learned that

Death Comes Unexpectedly!

(and so does burnout)

Death comes in many different forms: death of relationships, death of vision, death of energy.

 

Then there is the ultimate loss - like my friend Louis who was so totally physically burned out that he died alone in a hotel room from a heart attack while traveling on business. He was my reason for sharing with you what got me out of burnout.

 

When we burn out, we lose: we lose perspective, focus, drive and enjoyment of life.

When you're in burnout, the big question is “how do I escape ?”

 

That’s where The Burnout Buster Plan comes in.

 

Worried about AI eating your job? How about the economy failing? Kids screaming? Business failing? Far too limited investment for retirement? All of these can stress you into burnout.

 

The Burnout Buster Plan gives you back time and insight to overcome each of these. With your new-found energy you can then work those challenges with a clear mind, a rested body, and a charged vision for your future.

 

Maybe you’re an overwhelmed employee, a heavily burdened manager, an entrepreneur or even a parent in high demand … so you may already find yourself in one of these hard spots …

 

Are you a harried employee?

 

Here’s Scott, a dedicated professional, who found himself trapped in a cycle of overwhelming workload, constantly juggling multiple projects and tight deadlines. His work routinely spilled into evenings and weekends, eradicating any clear boundary between his professional and personal life. This led to a profound lack of work-life balance, causing him to miss family events and neglect hobbies he once cherished. Scott felt constant stress and anxiety from the pressure to perform and meet expectations, which manifested as insomnia, chronic fatigue, and irritability.

 

An overworked manager?

 

Maybe you recognize yourself in David, a middle manager, who felt caught in a relentless vise, pressured from both his superiors and his team. His boss consistently set unrealistic expectations for project delivery with inadequate resources, leaving him feeling inadequate and frustrated. At the same time his team looked to him for protection from their overwhelming workloads, a burden he secretly shared but struggled to escape. David was in a constant state of juggling too many demands, which led to his own exhaustion and a sense of isolation. This continuous anxiety, balancing his responsibilities and his team's well-being, kept him perpetually on edge and struggling to sleep, fearful of collective burnout.

 

A Driven Entrepreneur?

 

You might be a Sarah, a passionate entrepreneur, who had poured her entire being into creating and building her business from the ground up. What started with boundless enthusiasm unexpectedly transformed into a suffocating reality of overwhelming workload. She found herself working exceptionally long hours, habitually sacrificing personal time, hobbies, and social connections. The boundaries between work and personal life blurred, leading to diminished relationships and a gnawing sense of guilt over neglecting loved ones. The pervasive fear of burnout and the worry about her business's financial security kept her up at night, manifesting as insomnia and chronic fatigue. She dreamed of early retirement, but the current reality was an unyielding, all-consuming hamster wheel.

 

A Stay at Home Parent?

 

Meet Maria, a stay-at-home parent. Initially embraced her role, but the relentless, unending demands of managing her household and caring for her children became utterly overwhelming. Her days were a blur of chores, meal preparations, and childcare tasks, leaving her feeling perpetually behind and constantly striving to find a moment for herself. Her time was dictated by others' needs, resulting in a lack of control over her schedule and an inability to establish clear boundaries for personal time. Maria experienced a constant underlying stress and anxiety from the relentless responsibilities, which led to chronic fatigue, insomnia, and irritability.

David has a passion for helping people through challenging organizational situations. He has experienced many trials and tribulations during his career and is willing to share those with us in order to help us avoid the same stress traps. I'm not much of a reader but this was a very easy reading book. I was able to immediately apply some of the quotes and concepts into real world practice with my peers at work who are struggling with symptoms of burnout. I would highly recommend this book to those questioning their daily grind."

Why I'm Giving The Book Away at Cost...

(And no, it's not a gimmick.)


I am selling each book at the cost of printing, fulfillment, and shipping. Period.

Why am I doing this?

Because I'm a saint.

But really, there are two reasons I'm doing this.

First, I've personally been in burnout multiple times in my life - until I discovered the Burnout Buster Plan's five practical steps to getting out, and staying out, of burnout.

I'm doing this because I don't want you to waste another minute of your life in burnout! I've already done the legwork for you. I'd rather you learn something that works, and live the life you were made to enjoy.

I'm doing this because I've experienced the power of the system firsthand. It's changed my life, and my only regret is that I didn't learn it earlier!

Therefore, my goal is to get this book into as many hands as possible.

The second reason I'm selling this book at cost is because I know by transforming your life, you may become interested in other things I share that will transform you even further!

That's all.

I know the Burnout Buster Plan can change your life, and I can't wait for you to read it!

Frequently Asked Questions

What I wish I'd known, before trying dozens of "solutions" before finding the Bunout Buster Plan...

Who says this thing even works?

Each element of the Burnout Buster Plan is backed by solid science, extensive experience, and practical insight. Just imagine trying to get out of burnout without knowing why you're in it, for example. Step one is what makes it possible to do the next step, to "say no" and trim down the burdens. And without that list of what you're doing, and the ideas of where to say"no", you don't know what conversations you need to have with your support team - so you end up complaining instead of solving problems! This progress you make as you go through the steps helps you see for yourself how you're making a better future as you live out each step.

Why should I put my time into this?

Think of it this way - what did you try before, and why didn't it work? Most people I talk to who are burned out have tried something: changing jobs, changing spouses, shutting down, shutting out. All of these attempts to get rid of the pain usually fail, even if they seem to work for a short time. Why? because they deal with the results of burnout, not the cause. Finding and eradicating the causes drowning you is what the Burnout Buster Plan is all about.

How long will it take for the book to arrive?

Meet The Person Who Used this Plan First...

David Vugteveen


I have been living and teaching about business and technology for over 30 years. Ironically, this led to experiencing burnout off and on for over 20 of those years (and it got worse as the years went on, as burnout does.)

As a business consultant with a heavy travel schedule and little rest at home, I was literally burning the candle at both ends.

My coaching and writing on burnout comes from first-hand experience and a personal proof that these five step can work wonders.
