Better Life Lab Podcast: Work-Work Conflict

Listen to the Better Life Lab podcast on Slate, hosted by Brigid Schulte and produced by David Schulman.

In this episode, a Stanford researcher looks into how doctors manage work-life conflict, where she discovered another complicating factor contributing to burnout: work-work conflict, or having so many different tasks and responsibilities at work that you feel pulled in a hundred different directions at once. This episode shares systems-level solutions to this type of conflict, through stories from a doctor, a nonprofit executive, and a home health aide.
