The Secret to Feeling Less Exhausted: Why Your 'Relaxation' Habits Are Draining You

Redesigning Life with Sabrina Soto

In this episode, Palak Dave shares how we've become the experimental generation navigating digital life without established guidelines. She offers practical wisdom for implementing digital boundaries without completely disconnecting from modern life.
The conversation explores three powerful strategies for creating more fulfilling days: evaluating where your time actually goes, prioritizing genuine human connection, and implementing healthy digital habits. We discuss the counterintuitive truth that activities we think help us "tune out" like binge-watching shows or consuming true crime podcasts often leave us more depleted than energized. Meanwhile, activities that require effort initially like exercise, creative pursuits, or socializing, ultimately fill our cups.
Whether you're feeling perpetually tethered to your devices, struggling with boundaries between work and personal time, or simply seeking more meaningful connection, this conversation offers both the inspiration and practical tools to redesign your relationship with technology.
