Title - Beat job burnout, no need to quit yet
Some pointers that I've got are:
- Ask for a change within the organisation. It might involve a new project or task, a different area or a new team. This way, you would not run the risk of losing your income.
- Ask for help. If you have too much work and not enough time to complete it even though you are working nights and weekends, you can approach your supervisor to renegotiate the workload.
- Start an exciting or a fun project. This could fire up your enthusiasm for work in genera.
- Hibernate in between big projects so you do not tire yourself out.
- Take a sabbatical - again, only if your company or boss allows it and you can afford to. Do not think of a sabbatical as a beach vacation where you just sit around and do nothing. Take a course, or do volunteer work or something you have always wanted to do.
- Go for short breaks. Most burnouts are temporary. Adequate rest and time off from the activities that led to the burnout typically do the trick.
- Go for a retreat.
Yours,
Something Small Thinking Big
