Learn to say “No” when work exceeds your capacity.
Don’t let work creep into your personal time (like late-night calls, endless emails, or weekend tasks).
Communicate clearly with colleagues and managers about your working hours and limits.
👉 This protects your mental energy and prevents constant stress.
Use the Eisenhower Matrix (urgent vs. important tasks) or a to-do list.
Focus on high-impact tasks first instead of getting lost in busywork.
Delegate or postpone low-priority tasks.
👉 Smart prioritization helps you work effectively without overwhelming yourself.
Follow the Pomodoro technique (25 minutes focused work, 5 minutes break).
Move around, stretch, or take a short walk.
Avoid eating lunch at your desk—step away and recharge.
👉 Micro-breaks refresh your brain and boost productivity.
Engage in mindfulness, deep breathing, or meditation.
Listen to calming music, practice yoga, or spend time in nature.
Journaling or gratitude practice can also reduce stress.
👉 Relaxation techniques calm your nervous system and prevent exhaustion.
Dedicate time to family, hobbies, and self-care.
Keep work devices away during personal time.
Plan vacations or at least short weekend getaways.
👉 Balance ensures you don’t live only for work but also for yourself.
Talk to colleagues, friends, or family if you feel stressed.
Don’t hesitate to seek professional help if burnout symptoms persist.
Build a supportive network at work to share challenges.
👉 Sharing problems reduces emotional load and creates relief.
Avoid checking emails or messages once you clock out.
Create a “shutdown ritual” (like writing tomorrow’s to-do list before leaving).
Turn off notifications after office hours.
👉 This gives your brain a clean break and prevents constant work anxiety.
Aim for 7–8 hours of good-quality sleep every night.
Keep a consistent sleep routine (same bedtime and wake-up time).
Avoid caffeine and screens before bed.
👉 Sleep restores your mind and body, making you resilient against stress.
