The workforce is working harder and for longer hours than the decades before.
One unlikely culprit to burnout? Your lack of laziness
If you’ve been feeling tired these days, not because of lack of work, but because of doing too much of it, maybe you’re doing it wrong.
How?
By wanting to do it all in a sprint. And it’s not just doing work that pays the bills. Wanting to get all the information from all the content you can get your hands into also adds up to that feeling of overworked.
From One unlikely culprit to burnout? Your lack of laziness:
Don’t be afraid of letting some things go: just because you can spend time and effort doesn’t mean that you need to. Not all inbound communication is equally important, but the notifications on our phones and in our inboxes are equally intrusive, which can make every message feel equally important, even when it isn’t. You might think that taking in and retaining every single piece of new information will make you feel more secure, but doing so can ultimately create stress commensurate with that amount of extra effort.
Perhaps, we need to remember that we’re human and we also need to take a rest.
So don’t be guilty of getting one.
If you think you are on the brink of burnout, here’s what burnout looks like.
