Prevent Burnout 2

You can get burnout from work or anything that takes more energy than you can give. Burnout is not a one-time event. It builds up over time.

To prevent burnout:

*  Reduce long work hours, if you can.

*  Delegate tasks at work and at home to lessen your load.

*  Take regular 5-10 minute relaxation breaks during the day.

*  Do regular physical activity.

*  Eat healthy foods at regular times.

*  Get enough sleep.

*  Plan one or more vacations during the year.

*  Don’t work on your vacation.

Discuss, with your family, friends, and coworkers, problems you are having. Talking helps to ease feelings of frustration that feed burnout.
