Irritability, constant fatigue, loss of motivation—don’t ignore them. Spotting the early signs is the first step to preventing burnout.
Log off on time, avoid checking emails late at night, and learn to say no when needed. Protect your personal time.
Short breaks every 60–90 minutes refresh your mind. Step away from the screen, stretch, or walk around briefly.
Not everything is urgent. Focus on what matters most and delegate tasks when possible to avoid overload.
Talk to colleagues, mentors, or friends. Sharing how you feel helps reduce stress and builds emotional resilience.
Exercise improves mood, sleep, and stress levels. Even a 20-minute walk can help you recharge mentally.
Burnout builds faster with poor sleep and neglecting self-care. Protect your rest, eat well, and unplug regularly.
Reconnect with your goals or purpose. When work feels aligned with your values, it becomes energising—not exhausting.
If burnout persists, talk to a therapist or HR. You don’t have to go through it alone—professional help makes a big difference.
