What would you do if you are burned out?

by•

I must admit that when there is a backlog of work, I become burned out and can't get started. What would you do to refocus your attention on your work if you were burned out? Or do you simply let it go to have a rest?

When I feel burnt out, I just turn of the computer and have a rest. What's the point of sitting there, when you aren't capable of doing anything but just stare at the screen. Hiking or a trip to seaside let me to clear the mind and take a deep breath. A couple of hours may give such a boost that later I will be able to fulfill more in double less time. Also I like to draft up a table of things that bother me and that lead me to burnout, split them in smaller issues, prioritize them, delegate. Then I get a clearer picture of what is going on and how to handle it.

Do what you like, for me, it's playing video games and drawing comics. Once you get bored of that, get started with your work. Everyone needs a break to focus on other things and relax, don't push yourself to that point you're getting burnt out, because you will start to hate your job.

@chris_sarca Exactly. It will be horrible if one starts to hate their job. A stable mindset is also quite important.
When I feel burned out, I turn to yoga, catch up on sleep, chill out, and play some video games. It's my way to recharge and clear my head completely.

If you're feeling burned out, the first thing you need to do is take a break. Give yourself permission to step away from your work and recharge. This could mean taking a vacation, going for a walk in nature, or simply spending time with loved ones. The key is to disconnect from your usual routine and find activities that bring you joy and relaxation.

If I were burned out, I would take some time for myself to relax and recharge. I would also talk to my supervisor about my concerns and see if there are any changes that can be made to my work environment.

Do something unusual to draw you out of your comfort zone, a new experience will reignite the fire. You are probably just caught up in a routine and you need a hard reset.

@tr1p3 Great suggestion! Trying something new and going out of your comfort zone could be hard, but it's worth a try.

If I were burned out, I would take a break from work to recharge and reset. I would also try to identify what is causing me to feel burned out and make changes to address those factors.

Burnout is a real challenge, and taking time to recharge is so important. For me, engaging in something creative or relaxing, like customizing liveries or perfecting my drift techniques in FR Legends download, helps me disconnect and unwind. It’s all about finding that balance and doing what brings you joy. What strategies have worked best for others here?
