How To Prevent Burnout

Since lockdown I think many of us have had the mindset of ‘GO! GO! GO!’ and pushed ourselves to get lots of things done in both our professional and personal lives which have previously been put on halt. However we should remember to take time for ourselves in order to prevent burnout. Check out our top 5 tips and remember to look after No. 1!

1- Take Some Time Off

Book a holiday, get a change of scenery and SWITCH OFF! No phone, no social media (hard, we know), chill out and focus on yourself!

2- Reevaluate Priorities

Take some time to reflect on what is really important to you. Learn to say no, focus on what makes you happy and what you should be putting your time and energy into.

3- Add Better Structure Into Your Day

Every morning set out time to write down everything that you want to get done in that day. Add how much time allowance you are going to give each task and prioritise them accordingly. You’ll find that you’ll waste less time on tasks that need less focus and you’ll likely feel more satisfied with what you’ve got done in a day.

4- Listen To Your Body

This is easier said than done but, LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! Nourish it! Eat food which has a positive affect on your mood and energy levels. Drink plenty of water, drink alcohol in moderation and try to aim to exercise every week. It’s insane how much food and drink can affect your energy and mood for the day + exercise is great to boost your mood!

5- Take Time For Yourself

Self-care isn’t all about taking a Lush bubble bath, or making some super healthy smoothie, it’s so much more! Take time out to enjoy the little things, a tea break, a gentle nature stroll – any small thing that makes YOU happy!

ALSO – DO NOT FEEL GUILTY FOR TAKING TIME FOR YOURSELF!

6- Nurture Your Hobbies

Nurture and nourish your hobbies and develop new ones! Having things that are completely separate from work are so good to do! Fun projects, big or small which give you joy should be given time and attention!

Our Top 5 LinkedIn Profile Tips!

LinkedIn is the platform to be on to promote yourself as a professional individual and/or your business! Here are our top 5 LinkedIn profile tips to help you get noticed!

STEP 1:

Make your LinkedIn profile picture STAND OUT!

Yes, I know, you’ve probably heard this a million times before, but it’s so TRUE!

Get yourself a QUALITY LinkedIn profile picture! Make sure you have a plain background, wear an outfit that you would perhaps wear for work, or for an interview and get snapping! Make sure the image is sharp and centered correctly. Have fun with the background! It could be branded, it could have bright colours! Show some of your personality, whilst remaining professional!

STEP 2:

Your headline doesn’t have to be just your job title!

Your headline description can be more than just your job title. What do you do? How do you help? What does your service provide? Think of these questions and then let it reflect in your headline. HOWEVER, do not let it be too long because you want to appear in search results!

STEP 3:

Hey, you need to be an All-Star!

You need that ALL-STAR status on LinkedIn, WHY? Because by having that all-star status you are more visible! Fill in all the details, produce a brilliant summary telling your story and get posting!

STEP 4:

Engagement is key!

Like, comment and engage with your audience. Don’t be one of those people that scrolls and reads without engaging! By engaging with people’s posts you’re starting a conversation. Furthermore, why not endorse people for their skills? You’ll most likely find that they will return the favour!

STEP 5:

Create and share relevant content!

Publish interesting content that starts conversations! Present your skills, knowledge, advice or even tell stories (real ones – of course). Engage and grow your network and you will get noticed!
