126: Burnout, Breaks, and Boundaries
In today's brief but very important episode of the She Doesn't Settle podcast, I talk about burnout and the newfound challenges of remote work. No longer is home that refuge at the end of a long day of work - the lines between home and office are now blurred. And while remote work has a lot of benefits, and most people are able to maintain a healthy work life balance now that they're no longer obligated to an office, remote work makes it difficult to set boundaries and switch off at the end of the day. That's why I find it necessary to develop coping techniques that help me deal with burnout.
In creating a consistent routine, for example, you not only will increase productivity and improve your wellbeing, you will also prevent anxiety and stress levels from rising. Taking breaks is another method that I use to unplug. Whether you take 15 minutes to read or meditate, breaks are crucial to help reset your mind during long and tiring hours. And so is setting boundaries, an act which helps protect that safe, stressless place you've created for yourself. These days, that's more important than ever. So be sure to tune into today's episode and learn how you too can battle burnout and create a life that suits you.
The Finer Details of This Episode:
- The challenges of remote work
- The benefits of a consistent routine
- Taking breaks
- Setting boundaries
Quotes:
"According to Expedia, Americans took the least amount of vacation days."
"Those lines between home and work life have really become blurred, making it difficult for folks to switch off completely."
"That not only supports everything you've been doing, but that allows you to come back even stronger."
"We have really been conditioned to believe that our time is not ours."
"You need to take the steps to switch off and to take the time and set those boundaries, and give yourself that pause that is so important in terms of not only preventing burnout, but improving your productivity, your well being, you know, your anxiety, and your stress - all of the things."
