Beat Burnout
Job burnout is a common problem that people have to deal with nowadays. Says Shannon in her blog Random Mutterings:
“Work-related stress over long periods places a relentless strain on the body and mind, leading to emotional and physical fatigue. The end result, if not corrected, is burnout. Burnout produces feelings of hopelessness, powerlessness, cynicism, resentment, anger and failure, and results in stagnation, deterioration of quality of work, decreased creativity and reduced productivity.”
Burnout happens when you do more work than necessary and you have impossible deadlines to catch up with. If you feel that your job limits you and lessens your own personal space, you get that listless feeling that is burnout. Some jobs can add to the stress, especially if it’s mandatory to put in long hours. Check this link out.
