How to avoid a burnout.

7 rules that will stop you from quitting.

// THREAD //
1. Have “Partners in Crime”

Invest time to find someone (or small team) that has the same goals. Push each other forward, in the good and in the bad. Someone that you trust and can be open/honest about new ideas or challenges. This person can be an online stranger. Make it fun.
2. Change environment

You don’t need to hop on a plane. Work from home? Then change rooms. Or go to cafes, libraries, etc. Being stuck in the same space for long periods reduces your creativity levels. Change your surroundings and your energy levels will change for the good.
3. Move your body

Avoid sitting down for more than one hour. If you have phone calls, stand up, talk while walking. Go for walks. Or hey, even “invent” a stand-up desk. Those that don’t quit say: “You need to work out”. Do push/sit-ups, shake your body. You will feel recharged.
4. Set realistic expectations

You start a new job or project… “this looks easy”. Wrong thinking. You need to buckle up. There is no such thing as a smooth ride. Avoid excessive optimism or pessimism; be realistic. Wrong expectations can lead to demotivation. Stay focused.
5. Organise your workload

“I need holidays”. Look, vacations won’t help if you end up going back to the same pile of work. Find ways to detach yourself from work every day. 2 in 3 people say that a large workload led to burnout. Prioritise, one thing at a time & stay positive.
6. Study your breaking point

“I can’t do this anymore”. Breaking points don’t happen overnight. They are a build-up of emotions that end in an outburst. Recognise these feelings & release your tension. Things like laughing, caffeine reduction or chewing a gum releases tension.
7. Slow down, to speed up

You start new experiences with full power. Yet, as the honeymoon phase fades... You get a reality check. It wasn’t as easy, right? Or not fun. Switch up your daily activity speed & routine. Don't give up. Take a step back and come back pushing harder.
Spend your energy well.
