At this point, it’s safe to say that most of us have experienced burnout at work and the pandemic, specifically, has exacerbated this.

With pay cuts, increased work, and general anxieties about everything happening in the world; it’s practically guaranteed that you’re going to feel on edge.

If you’ve found it difficult to be productive, are depleted of energy, or feel cynical when you think about your job, you’re probably burnt out. Here are 3 tips you can try:

Create boundaries

If you’re working remotely, the lines between work and home can be blurry. Even if you’re back in the office, it’s likely that your workload has increased due to new demands. Always clarify expectations to your team about when you’ll be available to work on tasks.

Even if you have free time, you shouldn’t always be available for work conversations. Give your brain time to decompress, so you can be on you’re A-game when you return to work. Don’t be afraid to broadcast your schedule to your colleagues.

Know what to prioritize

If you are running around with no clear goal in mind; naturally, you’re going to be less productive… which will result in more stress and burnout. If this is the case, compile a list of the most important responsibilities you have, and prioritize them. If you’re unsure where to start, it’s important to have a conversation with your boss about what their expectations are.

Designate spaces for work

Using different devices and spaces for working can help you mentally compartmentalize your life. If you have space in your home, create a workspace that is designated solely for working. When you’re finished with the workday, cultivate a sense of balance by leaving it separate from other activities.

If you’re still working in an office, taking breaks and taking a day or two off can help clear your head.
