How to Recover from Work Related Burnout

If you've been feeling burned out at work lately, you're not alone.

If you’ve been feeling burned out at work lately, you’re not alone and if changing jobs or even taking a short vacation are out of the question, here are five other things you can do to combat work burnout. Identify that you’re in the rut…it’s more than just being tired. It can also feel like you’re jaded with your company or your role. It can also lead to headaches and sleep disturbances. Then, map out your ideal situation. Think about what your work life might look like if you could change your circumstances. Some issues might have a simple resolution.

Also, learn to set boundaries. Like if you’re struggling with your workload, you might ask your manager to help you delegate tasks to someone else or reprioritize and decide what work can wait. Finally, look for a sense of meaning in your work. Even if it’s small, like paying attention to the ways your work is contributing to a greater good.
