7 TIPS TO AVOID

OVERWORKING
YOURSELF
THERE IS DEFINITELY A WAY TO BALANCE OUT YOUR
WORK LIFE WITH YOUR PERSONAL LIFE IN A WAY
THAT YOU WON’T BE OVERWORKED, WHILE STILL
BEING ABLE TO DO A GREAT JOB AT YOUR JOB.

1 . SEE THE SIGNS

Make sure you’re aware of the warning
signs. Are you not getting enough sleep?
Physical pain and headache are some signs
that might make you realize that you are
working a bit too long or too hard.

2. FIND A WAY TO RELAX

There are some days or weeks throughout
the year when long hours become necessary
at work. Do some meditation, listening to
music or even doing yoga, find something
that relaxes you or calms you down and stick
with it.

3. TAKE BREAK
Working through a break or lunch that
could have given you some much-
needed rest is not good for your health.
Take a break every now and then, you
deserve it!

4.GET ENOUGH SLEEP

It goes without saying that lack of sleep is one
of the main contributors to feeling overworked.
Try to get as close to that range as possible
and you will feel refreshed the next morning,
ready to tackle a new workday!

5.ORGANIZATION IS KEY
Make a list of everything you need to
get done for the day, easiest or
quickest tasks on top. Once you start
completing tasks, you’ll feel less
overwhelmed, and thus, less overworked.

6.YOU DECIDE YOUR CALENDAR

Acknowledge that there are only so many
hours in a day. Be realistic with what can fit
in your work day, and guard that calendar
relentlessly.

7. FOCUS ON FINISHING
WHAT MATTERS
In order to keep yourself from burning
out, prioritize your daily to-dos with what
is most important to what can be bumped
back to a slower day.
