At the end of a hard day, your phone can feel like the only thing you have energy for.
Not because you are lazy.
Not because you lack discipline.
Because you are burned out.
The Burnout Evening Reset is a practical guide for people who use screens at night to numb out, shut down, and get through the last part of the day-but still wake up feeling like they never really rested.
Instead of giving you harsh digital detox rules or unrealistic self-care routines, Meera Tharshan helps you understand what is really happening in burned-out evenings: why the screen becomes the easiest relief, why passive escape can leave you emptier, and how to build recovery that works even when you have very little bandwidth left.
Inside this book, you will learn how to:
