With burnout at a record high, young people often struggle to overcome burnout-inducing habits they formed in school as they enter the workplace. Here are three critical changes you can make daily to combat burnout:
perfectionism has been on the rise among young people since 1980. There are several factors that contribute to this increase in perfectionism but the one that affects young people the most is social media and the messages they receive as they scroll.
You’re at a crossroads right now. You can embrace your burnout and address the problem by making some daily changes or you can keep scrolling and comparing and believing the only way to feel valuable is to achieve. You have an opportunity to redefine success and change your relationship with stress.
Determine how many hours each day you need to get your work done that doesn’t leave you depleted by the end of the week. There will always be longer days in the future but think about what works best for you and stick with that number. This means that if nine hours a day is best for you and if your first meeting is at 7 a.m., then you need to finish by 4 p.m. and make sure you take some breaks! When the clock strikes 4pm, let the work day end.
You’re not a machine that can run endlessly without breaks. You’re a human being, which means you need days off, time away from others and hours and days that are simply about napping and reading books you’ve read a million times before. Not every day or every event has to be momentous and social media worthy.
