How to Work Hard Without Burning Out
How to Work Hard Without Burning Out by Darius Foroux It’s much better to know yourself, know your job, and understand one thing: Hard work is great, but not at all cost. 1. Love What You Do - Work is a lot easier when you enjoy it. - If you hate your job, that’s your decision. Marcus Aurelius put it best: “You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” 2. Don’t Overestimate Yourself - You’re not superman or superwoman who always has to say: Yes, yes, YES to everything. Sometimes it’s okay to say: No, no, NO. 3. Ask For Help - Reach out to friends, managers, family, or any person you know. People will understand. And if they don’t, they are not your friends. 4. Don’t Feel Guilty - People can take care of themselves. And what kind of leader or friend are you if you are burnout? 5. What’s The Point? - Sometimes we do things that doesn’t make any sense at all. So ask yourself that question. No good answer? Don’t do it. 6. You Can’t Have It All - If you want to do things well, with all your attention, you have to make some sacrifices. 7. Exercise Every Day - Scientific research shows that daily exercise reduces stress, anxiety, and improves your focus. Only 30 minutes a day is enough to get results. 8. Chill - Life is not easy, you know. So don’t make it even harder by being such a serious person.
