• Create a balanced schedule. A balance between work and family life, social activities and solitary pursuits, daily responsibilities and downtime is essential for the chances of not being burnt out.
• Don’t over-commit yourself. Do not overcrowd or over schedule your day. All too often, we underestimate how long things will take. If you’ve got too much on your plate, distinguish between the high priority and low priority.
• Try to leave earlier in the morning. Even 10-15 minutes can make the difference between frantically rushing to your desk and having time to ease into your day.
• Plan regular breaks. Short breaks to sit back or walk in between can help clear the mind and make one more productive.
