Take a break

The 7 signs of burnout:

• Anxiety
• Forgetfulness
• Career self-sabotage
• Working longer and longer hours
• Jumping from task to task without purpose or aim
• Working on the same problem without seeing progress
• Accumulating work to compensate for not getting anything done

And here's some ways to fight back:

• Start the week with an empty task list - reserve a weekend to get caught up
• Ease the burden of remembering things - write everything down.
• Regain a sense of momentum - put the deep work on pause.
• Regain a sense of purpose - be ruthless with the task list.
• Give yourself room to focus - go incognito from email
• Reduce the workload - delegate everything you can.
• Regain positivity - take time off

Remember, if you're feeling burnout, take a break.

    "ease the burden of remembering things" is a good piece of advice. I always feel like I am forgetting something, which leads to unnecessary stress.
