How To Recover From Burnout: Balance Your Obligations And Desires
Performing obligations makes you want to do desired activities to compensate, which often leads to failures in self-control and feelings of inadequacy. It’s important to not overwhelm yourself with obligations so you don’t lose control later and incur in inefficiency.
- Rank the tasks on your goal list based on your motivation toward them.
- Look at the balance between desirable and undesirable tasks.
- If there are more undesirable tasks, create a small list of desirable tasks, preferably related to your main goal, until you have roughly the same number of each.
- Change the order of the tasks so you have desirable and undesirable tasks alternating.
