2. If you are a leader in your company or industry, then it
means you are probably cut from a different cloth. You like
to go fast all the time. And of course, you have been
rewarded due to more competitiveness and better results
for your business. But if you are going to win the marathon,
not the sprint, of business, then here is how you can avoid
burnout while getting faster.
3. MORNING ROUTINE
When you have a morning routine
that you enjoy, it can make all the
difference in the world. Far too many
business leaders make the mistake of
getting right out of bed and checking
emails, responding to calls, or
heading to work to try to “get a head
start.”
A proper morning routine allows you
to improve your mood throughout the
day. It also lets you put your body in
the right mode, pumping blood to
your body and brain so you can have
more energy and think better. Try
meditation, yoga, running, and
journaling in the morning and you’ll
never look back.
4. REFINE GOALS
Part of increasing your speed
without burning out is
psychology. You need to have
the best motivation available to
you daily. To do this, refine your
goals. Set bigger goals with
more aggressive timelines and
really drive home the reason why
you want them so bad. And be
sure to write them down
everyday, giving you fuel and
purpose at every turn.
5. LEVERAGE YOUR
TEAM
Sure, you want to be more
productive and faster at what you
do. However, that doesn’t mean you
need to do everything in your
business on your own. While you
are the leader, you still have others
that are your support network.
Learn when it’s the right time to
delegate tasks, especially repetitive
ones. This improves confidence in
your team that you trust them. It
also frees you up to focus on the
higher level aspects of your
business and goals so you have a
higher ROI on time.
6. When it comes to getting more out of your time, it is
tempting to burn the candle at both ends. This is great,
until you burnout and have no energy left. Use the
strategies above so you can get faster at your work without
sacrificing the longevity needed to reach your long-term
goals.
