Get Control Over Your Stress
Burnout is partly defined by a feeling of being overwhelmed. To defeat and recover from it, you have to get control.
- To start, arm yourself with some apps to help you recover from burnout. These apps help you control your sleep, diet, and more. They work best if backed by an action plan.
- When you make your plan, you must start by believing that it is possible to catch up. Once you've done that, write down all your tasks and responsibilities. Then, remove all non-essential items. Delegate as much as you can from what's left.
- Last, take your finalized list of tasks and break them into steps. Then s
chedule a time to work on each one. You may need to request deadline extensions or cancel less-important tasks. Remember that burnout makes you slower.
