For over a decade, library professionals have been asked to do more with less. The result? Chronic overload, burnout, and a sense that there’s no time to step back, only to react.

This practical, supportive course helps you press pause, reflect, and regain control. It’s designed for library staff who feel overwhelmed by competing demands and are seeking a more compassionate and strategic approach to managing their workload.

You’ll be guided through tools, techniques, and real-life strategies that support sustainable productivity and wellbeing. You’ll also be given protected space to reflect, prioritise, and plan your next steps—with kindness, clarity, and courage.

• How to identify the early signs of burnout and reclaim time to think
