You're still functioning. That's exactly why this book matters.
You're showing up. You're getting the work done. Maybe you're even performing well. But sleep is getting lighter, patience is getting shorter, work follows you home, and "I just need to get through this week" has started to sound permanent.
The Orange Zone is a practical guide for the stage before full burnout - when the warning signs are real, but you still have room to act.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
• spot the early signs that ordinary fatigue is becoming chronic strain
• identify the workplace pressures that are actually draining you
• set boundaries and ask for priorities without sabotaging your career
• protect sleep, energy, meals, movement, and recovery without turning wellness into another job
• use practical scripts for overload, deadlines, managers, and constant availability
• follow a realistic 30-day plan with a low-energy mode for difficult days
This is not a book about becoming better at tolerating the intolerable. It is about seeing the pattern earlier, reducing what can be reduced, and recovering enough clarity to decide what needs to change.
You do not have to wait until you break down to take yourself seriously.
