4 Ways To Manage Your Energy And Have A Balanced, Productive Workday<\/span><\/h1>\n

\"\"By\u00a0Sam Milbrath<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|<\/span>\u00a0Published on\u00a0October 21, 2021<\/span>\u00a0|<\/span>\u00a08 min read<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you were a marathon runner, you would train by starting small. You would set goals for yourself, but know your limits and never push beyond them in case of injury or burnout. You would know when to slow down, rest, and recover, and when to pick up speed. You would run in intervals based on the peaks and dips of your energy. You would listen to your mind, body, and spirit. If your energy faltered, you would back off and slow to a walk or stop completely to stretch, take breaks, and refuel. You would know how to manage your energy efficiently.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But you\u2019re not running a marathon, you\u2019re living your life and working hard. Dr. Phillip C. McGraw infamously (and smartly) wrote that \u201clife\u2019s a marathon, not a sprint.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Effective energy management can\u2014and should\u2014be applied to every aspect of your life, including, and perhaps most importantly, your work.<\/p>\n

The Importance Of Energy Management At Work (And In Life)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Energy is defined as the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity. Work often falls into one or both of those categories, depending on what you do for a living. If you look at it that way, then energy is the strength and vitality required for you to work.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0By\u00a0Genevieve Michaels<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|<\/span>\u00a0Published on\u00a0October 14, 2021<\/span>\u00a0|<\/span>\u00a08 min read<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Burnout. If you haven\u2019t experienced it yet, there\u2019s a good chance that you\u2019ve gotten close. Workplace stress is tough to deal with at the best of times, and on top of everything, the last couple years have been some of the most stressful in recent memory!<\/p>\n

A global pandemic, economic turmoil, and an en-masse shift towards\u00a0remote work<\/a>\u2014could the world throw any more massive changes at us? For most of us, it\u2019s been a big adjustment (understatement, much?) so it\u2019s really not surprising that burnout is on the rise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Burnout\u2019s nothing new, but as we all attempt to bounce back from this period of intense change, dealing with burnout on a large scale is going to be more important than ever. In this article, we\u2019ll tell you everything you need to know about\u00a0burnout<\/a>\u00a0in a distributed world\u2014what it is, why it\u2019s rising, and how we can deal with it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If, like us, some part of you is still dwelling back in early March 2020, these might be just the strategies you need to bring your team into a brave new distributed world. Come with us\u2014you might find that it\u2019s friendlier out there than it looks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What Is Burnout? Why Does It Matter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Burnout is a state of emotional, mental, or physical exhaustion that\u2019s severe enough to affect your work. The term was\u00a0coined in the 70s<\/a>\u00a0by psychologist Herbert Freudenberger, but we\u2019re willing to bet that burnout has existed for much longer than that. After all, tilling fields or milking cows isn\u2019t exactly a recipe for work-life balance!<\/p>\n

How to Stay Motivated When You\u2019re (Still) Stuck at Home<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

After months of being stuck inside due to the COVID-19 pandemic, limiting exposure to friends and family, and juggling responsibilities at home and at work, it\u2019s no surprise that many of us are dealing with frustration, anger, and burnout. Quite simply: We\u2019ve had enough.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n

People from around the world are reaching out to me because they\u2019ve reached a breaking point. They\u2019ve simply had enough: Enough of being inside. Enough of working remotely. Enough of having businesses shut down. Enough of schools being closed. Enough of being isolated. Enough of everything.<\/p>\n

The common message they communicate in time management consultations is,\u00a0I just can\u2019t do this anymore.<\/em>\u00a0Some break down in tears.<\/p>\n

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed all of our lives in a multitude of ways. And after months of being stuck inside, limiting exposure to friends and family, and juggling responsibilities at home and at work, it\u2019s no surprise that many of us are dealing with frustration, anger, and more. If you find yourself in that situation where you don\u2019t feel like you can handle what\u2019s happening anymore and you\u2019ve lost motivation to even try, you\u2019re not alone. Putting you under a tremendous amount of stress, increasing your responsibilities, and stripping you of your support networks is a recipe for burnout and breakdown.<\/p>\n
