How to Bounce Back From a Burnout Better Than Before

Life is crazy. I've learned that much. One moment you're working to make everything good in your life and career, then before you know it, you're flat on your back, unable to do much more than dream up words that rhyme with "burnout." If you've ever been burnt out, then you know what I'm talking about.

Key Idea

How to overcome burnout

Prioritise Nourishment. Get quality rest, eat food that will fuel your body's recovery, exercise gently, get fresh air and also nourish your heart.
Acknowledge Your Part. Face the real reasons you burned out.
Build Some Guide Rails. Establish new boundaries. It's about knowing the difference between the things you’re willing to go the extra mile for when life demands it, and the things that mean enough to you for you to enforce your boundaries.
Don’t Do it Alone. You don't need to do everything yourself. It’s okay to seek support.
Give a Damn. Sometimes, being in a bad place can be the perfect opportunity to make some new choices.

How to Break Your Addiction to Work

For many of us, working simply feels good. But just because it feeds your ego or makes you feel important, that doesn't mean it's actually good for you. How do you break the cycle of working long hours at the office and constantly checking email at home?

Key Ideas

An Unbalanced Life

We live in a culture where work demands our complete allegiance. At the same time, it can be extremely enriching. You feel challenged by your work, you're attached to it, you're learning new things.

But, it is harmful to live an unbalanced life with too much focus on work and never truly being 'off'. It is detrimental to your relationships, your health, and your productivity.

Redefine Success

Reconsider how you define success. Workaholics are always aiming to get ahead. But you also need to draw a boundary line that shows respect for your family life, and your physical and spiritual well-being.

Refocus Your Attention

After you have redefined success, consider how you want to invest your time and energy.

There will always be more work to be done, but make a choice to spend your time elsewhere: with family, friends, or in your community. And when you spend time with your family or friends, do so with undivided attention.

12 Time Management Mistakes That Set You Up for Failure

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Time management is all the rage these days, and it's easy to understand why. Most people, and particularly entrepreneurs, are working themselves to the bone. It's been found that 70 percent of us work beyond "office hours" and into the weekends.

Key Ideas

There isn’t enough time

Complaining that you don’t have enough time is not getting to the root problem. It may be that you’re lousy at time management. Admit to yourself that there is enough time -- you just don’t know how to get the most out of it. Now, you can start improving your time management.

A one size fits all solution

Instead of relying on a tool with all the bells and whistles, find out where you’re struggling and what’s essential for you.

For example, if scheduling is taking you away from product development, then you could use a scheduling tool that uses machine learning to automate most of your scheduling needs. If you’re wasting too much time on email, then consider using a tool to help tame your inbox.

Less anxiety

Time management is only useful when you’re aware of your limitations and don't let the system dictate your entire life.

In other words, when you don’t tread lightly (especially at first), time management can add more stress to your life.
