Burnout - Are You Next?

Time Management Guide Part 21

• Do you experience flashes of memory loss?

• Do you sometimes get that ‘BLANK’ feeling when you just cannot fathom out what you should do next?

• Are you are becoming increasingly irritable, losing your temper easily?

• Do you feel mentally and physically exhausted at the end of the day but still cannot get a good night’s sleep?

• Do you wake up feeling tired even after remaining in bed for 6 to seven hours?

• Are your eyes starting to have dark circles around them?

• Do you tend to forget meal times and even if you remember them, eat at the most insensible times?

• Instead of eating square meals do you find you are sustaining yourself on caffeine and nicotine?

• Do you find yourself working very hard but unable to accomplish all that you want

If at least five of the above statements are true for you then you could be the next victim of burnout!

You have got to do something about it or you are going to ruin your health.

Stress can manifest itself in diseases like hypertension (high blood pressure), ulcers and even a mental break down.

The underlying principle of this argument is that time management is not about doing your job well. It is about living your life well.

You should have time for everything.

And everything means work, play, enjoyment, chilling out and just time to sit and contemplate - because that is when the most creative ideas are born.
