What is burnout?
​

Burnout is a phenomenon that has been well-documented in the literature for decades. It is a state of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion that can result from the excessive and prolonged stress associated with work, study or other activities. Burnout is also characterized by feelings of apathy, cynicism and detachment.

Burnout has been linked to increased risk for depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse disorders and suicidal ideation. Burnout may also lead to decreased productivity at work or school as well as relationship difficulties at home.

​Top 3 Reasons You Might Be Getting Burned Out

One of the most common reasons for people to quit their jobs or projects is because they get burned out.

Once someone becomes overwhelmed and too tired, they are more likely to feel like they are wasting their time and lose sight of the goal.

​In order to avoid burnout and keep your passion alive, it's important that you schedule regular breaks, stay positive and keep your passion alive.
 
1. You're Working More Hours Than You Can Handle

Working for too many hours can cause a lack of work-life balance and lead to health issues. It is, therefore, important to maintain a healthy work-life balance by taking frequent breaks from work, limiting the number of hours worked each week, and taking regular vacations.

Working for too many hours can lead to a lack of work-life balance and health issues. To maintain a healthy work-life balance, it is important to take frequent breaks, limit the amount of time spent on work, and stay active outside of work.
 
2. You're Working on Too Many Projects at One Time
​
Juggling multiple projects and activities can be difficult and stressful. There are a few things that you can do to help improve your workflow. For example, set up a time each day when you will work on your most important project and then alternate that with less demanding tasks. You should also use techniques like mind mapping or to-do lists to compile all of your ideas in one place.
 
3. You Don't Have Enough Control Over Your Work Schedule or Environment 

Work control is the process of managing the tasks you have to do. There are many burnout problems that can be solved by implementing a better work control. These problems include but are not limited to: inability to know what work has been completed, blurry deadline, lack of motivation, and lack of cooperation among coworkers. Keep to deadlines, stay on top of your work, focus on your goals and take breaks to stay inspired.

Tips to Reduce Stress and Keep Yourself Productive

Burnout is when you feel overwhelmed, exhausted and unfocused. It's usually caused by long working hours, a heavy workload and not taking time for yourself.

Burnout prevention tips also include:
  • creating boundaries
  • setting limits 
  • taking time to recharge

Our lives are always filled with stress. Whether it be work, family issues or personal problems, life is always a hectic mix of emotions. However, we can make sure to take care of ourselves and focus on our own well-being.

One way that can help us reduce stress levels is by making sure we are taking enough time for ourselves. Practice mindful breathing and deep relaxation techniques to improve your sleep and rejuvenation.

The key to remaining productive is to do something that nourishes you every day...

​It's important to find a way to decompress that works for you and your lifestyle. For some people, the best time to get back to center is in the morning before the rest of their day starts. For others, it might be at night when they're winding down and relaxing.

It doesn't matter what you do to unwind, whether you get a massage, sit in the sun, read, watch a film or spend time in nature. And don't forget that sometimes it can be as simple as taking a walk outside!

Everyone needs to take a break once in awhile. No one can sustain the same level of productivity for long periods of time. Your brain needs breaks too, especially when you're constantly thinking of work. It's important to have fun and do stuff that energizes you.

​Keep Your Passion Alive & Avoid Burnout

Passion is a hard thing to keep alive. It's easy to lose sight of your goals and the importance of what you're doing. But it's important to keep your passions alive, because without them, life can feel meaningless.

If you're struggling with passion, it might be time for a change.

Try adding new hobbies or interests that will help ground you in your passions again.

You could get excited about throwing stuff out and freeing up space for what you REALLY want.

​You can also try finding new ways to stay connected with what you care about in the world - volunteering or donating to causes that are important to you are just a few examples of how this might look.

 
Why It's Important to Keep Your Passion Alive

It is important to keep your passion alive because it will help you to create better content. Your passion will also help you to stay motivated while you are working.

Passion is the fuel that inspires us and keeps us going. It’s what makes us want to do our best work, even when we don’t feel like it.
 
Why Burned Out People are Actually the Happiest

Who doesn't feel exhausted at the end of a day? But, contrary to popular opinion, being burnt out is not necessarily a bad thing. Be sure to know if the burnout is from overdoing it or following the wrong path.

Sometimes the only way to get things done is to push yourself, which can unfortunately lead to burnout but also result in a satisfying feeling of accomplishment.

Just remember to take care of yourself amidst the busyness and to not lose yourself in the process.
 
Conclusion & Recap of the Best Ways to Avoid Burnout

Burnout is a high-risk, high-intensity state of emotional, mental and physical exhaustion. It can happen to anyone and it can also be a result of too much stress or not enough rest.

The best way to avoid burnout is by taking care of your mental health and physical health. Make sure that you are getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, exercising regularly and spending time with friends and family.
