In today’s busy working environment, avoiding burnout is hugely important and must be taken seriously. We have so many more demands upon us in our working world and looking after your health should be your top priority.
First things first; are you approaching burnout? It sometimes can be hard to notice when you’re in a difficult situation and facing burnout. Are you finding work uninteresting, stressful and struggling to sleep? Do you feel negative or critical? Are you making unhealthy lifestyle choices? Chances are you are starting to struggle with burnout.
It’s important you take steps to avoid burnout –
- Keep you life and work separate. Set aside time specifically for life outside work, make plans to see friends and family and say no to unreasonable wok requests. You’ve got to have a life outside of work.
- Find a hobby. Get involved in something entirely separate from your work to invest your energy into – You your hobby to re-energise your world!
- Set your work priorities for each day. The work never “finishes”, so be aware of what you can achieve in just one day and stick to that list alone.
Put yourself first and look after yourself – because ultimately if you hit burnout you’ll let yourself and your colleague down in the long run anyway.
