Time Management
This is one of the most important elements of the five listed here. Time management is the single most flexible thing that can be used to combat burnout. It is never a good thing to spend several hours every day
forever on anything. (Yep, even that!) Not only is creativity and passion eventually stifled, but focus and desire can be smothered, too. On the other hand, if you were to balance the time invested in that passion with other things in life, you could probably do that anything forever.
There is no set time schedule that works for everyone. It would be better for some people to work five hours a day and take weekends off. It might be better for someone else to work three hours a day, every day. Still
another person may feel that once they’re on a roll they can’t quit. So, they work 20 hours a day every three or four days. How you schedule your time is up to you. But, it should be relative to other important things in life and be:
- Regulated
- Consistent
- Achievable
The notion of holidays, vacations, and time off didn’t come about because someone was lazy. It is a proven fact that time away and managed time helps prevent burnout.
