Burnout: the plan we follow
Early signs:
What we do:
Healthy schedule
1. Pick anchor days 2. Have a flex day 3. Build in recovery blocks
Energy cycles
shorter streams with planned resets, break cards, and hydration prompts
Workload caps
weekly hour ceiling and a max number of "high-effort" shows
Rotate formats
alternate heavy talk, gameplay, music, coaching, and chill Q&A
Monthly check-in
quick self-survey plus coach notes to catch issues early
Creators earn credits for sticking to healthy ranges and for taking recovery seriously.
The comparison trap
Leaderboards and ranks can teach, but they can also drain you. We focus on your baseline and your trend.
If a rank night triggers spirals, we switch to a private review and a short rest window.
Healthy boundaries with chat and community
Parasocial pressure is real. Boundaries protect you and make the space safer for everyone.
Comparison nights and tournaments
Competition should be fun, not a spiral. Our events use clear rules, time limits, and recovery days. We score on more than diamonds, like audience retention, collaboration, and sportsmanship.
Tools you get

Break screens and "be right back" timers
A boundary page you can link in your bio
A mod handbook and quick-action macros
