If you feel burned out, it might be time to work on quieting your ego
While all these circumstances have a role in burnout, there may be an internal problem also in play, according to Jeffrey Hull and Margaret Moore, coauthors of The Science of Leadership: Nine Ways to Expand Your Impact.
Your ego could be too noisy!
'A noisy ego describes a person who is constantly thinking about themselves,' Moore says. 'They're asking 'Am I OK?' 'Are they insulting me?' 'Am I being positioned correctly?' It's a self-referencing, self-oriented noise.'
A quiet ego is a term coined by Jack Bauer, a professor of psychology at the University of Dayton, and Heidi Wayment, a professor of psychological sciences at Northern Arizona University. It describes a personality type characterized by being mindful, emotionally intelligent, compassionate, and growth-oriented.

Carlsbad Caverns officials uncover historic cave trash
CARLSBAD, N.M. (KRQE) – Carlsbad Caverns say they keep finding trash from decades ago, when they first opened to the public in 1923. Cavern officials say even though they find more and more modern-day trash, sometimes they stumble across historic trash like a Coca-Cola bottle that made it to the top of a rock far off the main corridor trail. What is guano and why was it a hot commodity in Carlsbad? Officials say the shape of this type of bottle is called a 'hobble-skirt,' which Coca-Cola started using in the year 1915. The bottle has the word 'Carlsbad' embossed at the bottom of the bottle, meaning this bottle was fabricated near the cave. This is not the first run-in with trash cavern staff have come across. In September 2024, an empty bag of Cheetos caused an uproar. Cavern officials say this small piece of trash has a big impact on the cavern; it can become a host for algae and mold.

Whale killed and passenger thrown overboard after boat collision in New Jersey
A whale was killed after it was struck by a motorboat off the New Jersey shore, with the forceful collision sending one passenger overboard. Video footage shared online of the sudden collision showed the motorboat rocking back and forth as the 20-foot-long minke whale swam away in Barnegat Bay on Saturday afternoon. The crash nearly tipped the boat over and sent one passenger flying overboard into the water. The person who went overboard was able to tread water next to the boat until they were saved, authorities said. The whale was later found dead after it went to rest on a sandbar in shallow water, the Marine Mammal Stranding Center, a non-profit rescue and release organization, said. Officials with the organization weren't able to reach within 30 yards of the whale due to tidal conditions and were therefore unable to conduct a more in-depth examination of the animal, the organization said in a statement. 'At this point, we really don't have much to go on,' Jay Pagel, the stranding coordinator at the center, told the Associated Press. 'The side of the animal that we were able to observe had no obvious marks on it that we could see. But again, our visibility was very limited.' Pagel said there were reports that the whale had been injured before the collision. He also noted other video footage shows the whale appearing to make contact with a pontoon boat after the first accident. The whale will be towed to a state park on Monday for a necropsy, which will determine its official cause of death. The necropsy is expected to take several hours to complete. The agency is now urging boaters to use caution in the area and to keep at least 150 feet away from the whale carcass for the time being. Solve the daily Crossword

Fighter jets scrambled after civilian aircraft violates Trump airspace at New Jersey Bedminster
Fighter jets scrambled to intercept a civilian aircraft on Sunday after it entered restricted airspace over Trump's Bedminster retreat. The pilot flew into a temporary flight restriction (TFR) zone at about 12:50 p.m. ET, according to a statement from the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). The civilian aircraft was escorted out of the area by NORAD aircraft after using flares to draw the pilot's attention. NORAD said the intercept was the second of the day, noting that another aircraft had entered the TFR zone. In total, there were five unauthorized incursions over the weekend. The second instance, NORAD said, involved flares, which may have been visible to the public. NORAD added that flares "are employed with the highest regard for the safety of the intercepted aircraft and people on the ground." The flares also burn out quickly and completely, NORAD said, so there is no danger to those on the ground when dispersed. Officials are warning private pilots to do their homework before takeoff. "General aviation pilots are reminded to verify all Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) Notice to Airmen (NOTAMs) and Fly Informed before every flight; in the instance of the Bedminster, New Jersey region, specifically FAA NOTAMs 9839, 9840, 9841 and 9842," NORAD said. The most up-to-date information can be found by visiting NORAD has stressed during previous instances how important it is for North American flight safety for pilots to avoid violating TFR. "All pilots must familiarize themselves with updates to restricted airspace, including reviewing new and existing FAA NOTAMs that impact their flight plans and activities," NORAD has stated. "Adhering to FAA restricted airspace protocols is mandatory, regardless of geographical region, airframe, or aircrew." According to the president's schedule, Trump was out of town at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster on Sunday. He is expected to return to the White House on Sunday evening.
