Leadership Tip

How to eye goals sans-burnout

While time and dedication might be the keywords to reaching your career goals, taking much-needed breaks in between can be just the antidote to avoid a possible burnout. So, if you feel like you have much to accomplish in less time, try the following to help you find a balance:

  1. Rediscovering your purpose  can go a long way towards helping you avoid burnout and keeping stress at bay.
  2. Perform a job analysis so you can clarify what's expected of you, and what is not.
  3. Give to others, even in a small way, as this help can re-energize you and help you find meaning in your work.
  4. Create a visual reminder of your priorities through a vision board or a collage of photos.
  5. Repeat a positive mantra to yourself about finding balance, maintain a sense of humour, eat well and limit your alcohol consumption, or even abstain.
