Burnout doesn’t hit all at once.


And that’s okay. You’re not alone.

So how do we begin to heal?

Not with grand gestures.

But with small, rebellious acts of self-respect:

🫶 Taking three deep breaths before checking your phone

🧴 Rubbing cream into your hands like it actually matters

🧩 Finishing a crossword just to prove you still can

🎵 Playing your song, not the algorithm’s

💧 Drinking water like it’s your job

These aren’t productivity hacks.

They’re life hacks for the soul.

Tiny rituals. Daily signals to your nervous system:

“I’m still here. I’m still trying. And that counts.”


🔁 Save this if you’re in recovery mode

💬 What’s one small thing that helps you feel human again?

Why Basket-Cases?

(a.k.a. “Why a Breakdown Basket?”)

Because being human is hard. And hilarious. And chaotic.

We made these baskets because:

  • Your brain deserves a timeout (even if your schedule doesn’t).
  • Art, stories, and silly rituals can be more healing than a checklist.
  • You’re not broken—you’re just beautifully overwhelmed.
