The 4 Burners

The 4 Burners theory suggests that life is like a stove with four burners representing different areas: family, friends, health, and career. To succeed, you might turn up some burners while others are lowered, balancing your energy and attention. For example, excelling in work might mean spending less time with family temporarily. Over time, you adjust these burners based on your priorities. The idea emphasizes that you can't fully focus on all areas at once, so conscious choices help maintain harmony and prevent burnout. It's a way to understand and manage the trade-offs in a busy life.
