A topic came up for me just today with a client who wonders if she is burned out. I honestly think, if you're asking the question, you probably are – at least a little crispy around the edges.
I was reminded of this blog post by Derek Halpern over at Social Triggers, he wrote about how to tell if you're burned out.
He actually gives us a few questions to answer, nine to be exactly.
Three of them are:
Are you exhausted all the time?
Do you feel more anxious about your business than you used to?
Do you feel overwhelmed and indecisive?
Go read the whole post and find the other questions there.
I love how he gives ideas for breaking through burnout, of which there are six:
- Notice (and Admit) It Early
- Commit to Making a Change
- Give Yourself Some Room To Breathe
- Connect With Others
- Make Life Easy
- Fuel Your Passion
Derek gives thoughtful advice for each one – it's really meaty post, so go dig in and enjoy!
