[Decoded] Burnout isn’t from doing too much

Decoded: Musings on Human Design for living your BEST life

BUSINESS / CAREER / RELATIONSHIPS / PARENTING

Hey Reader,

If you’ve ever wondered why burnout keeps creeping in — even when you love what you do — there’s a good chance you’ve been working against your energy, not with it.

This week inside The November Decode, we explored what happens when you stop trying to fit your energy into generic business advice and start aligning with your design instead.

Here’s the wrap-up.


Day 1 – How Your Energy Type Works Best

You don’t have to do business like everyone else.
Your energy type shapes how you’re meant to work, create, and sustain success - and what drains you fastest.

Manifestors need space between creative bursts.
Generators thrive on satisfaction and mastery through response.
Manifesting Generators succeed when they follow excitement and pivot fast.
Projectors create more by doing less - their efficiency is their power.
Reflectors depend on their environment and timing; spaciousness is their strength.

💭 Question: How would your business feel if you worked the way you’re designed to?

Day 2 – The Myth of Consistency

You’ve been told consistency is everything. But Human Design says otherwise.
Not everyone’s built to show up the same way every day - and that’s not a flaw, it’s your rhythm.

  • Manifestors create in waves of energy and rest.
  • Generators shine when they’re lit up, not forced.
  • Manifesting Generators thrive in sprints, not routines.
  • Projectors need cycles of visibility and retreat.
  • Reflectors follow the lunar rhythm - not the algorithm.

Real consistency is energetic, not scheduled. It comes from honouring your natural flow, not hustling through it.

Day 3 – What Actually Drains You

You’re not tired from doing too much - you’re tired from doing what’s wrong for your energy. Your undefined centres (the white areas in your chart) show where you amplify others - and where you can burn out.

  • Undefined Head: Solving problems that aren’t yours.
  • Undefined Ajna: Overthinking and needing to be right.
  • Undefined Throat: Talking to fill silence.
  • Undefined G: Saying yes in the wrong environments.
  • Undefined Ego: Overpromising to prove worth.
  • Undefined Solar Plexus: Absorbing others’ emotions.
  • Undefined Sacral: Pushing past your natural limit.
  • Undefined Spleen: Holding on too long.
  • Undefined Root: Rushing to relieve pressure.

💭 Reflection: What would change if you stopped managing energy that isn’t yours to hold?

Day 4 – Your Ideal Work Rhythm

Every energy type has its own rhythm - a natural flow of when to act, create, and pause. When you honour that rhythm, productivity becomes sustainable instead of draining.

💡 Manifestors move in creative waves.
💡 Generators & MGs respond to what’s ready, then refine.
💡 Projectors alternate between observation and offering guidance.
💡 Reflectors flow with the lunar cycle.

Your rhythm isn’t wrong - it’s just different.

Day 5 – Energy First, Strategy Second

Your business strategy will only work if your energy does. The moment you design your offers, launches, and marketing to suit your aura - things click.

Manifestors: Build strategy around freedom and bursts of creation.
Generators: Follow satisfaction and trust your gut response.
Manifesting Generators: Keep systems flexible - pivot fast, move often.
Projectors: Lead through recognition and selectivity.
Reflectors: Let your environment and timing set the pace.

💭 Prompt: Where are you forcing strategy that doesn’t fit your energy - and what would shift if you let your aura lead?
