How do y’all manage burnout without letting your performance slip? Doing change management (including functional work for comms platforms) for a big IT implementation and lightning responsive communication with client and stakeholders is part of my role.

I think I need a bit of a slowdown (or a bit of a break from being the messenger) to recharge given we’ve all been heads down for MONTHS, but I don’t want that to impact relationships with clients and stakeholders.

Any advice?

Is there anyone you can delegate to or share responsibilities with?

If you can’t shift the workload, here are some things that have helped me:

-daily meditation. It really really refreshes me
-taking one disconnected day a week. I stopped doing this recently but I was keeping this up for about 6 months. One day per week (typically Saturday) where I turned off all notifications, left my phone at home almost all of the time, and didn’t watch any TV or go on the computer. It’s seriously life changing and super refreshing. Highly recommend.
-doing a staycation. Taking off a Monday or Friday and just chilling at home does wonders for my mental health

I really like the app Insight Timer. They have guided meditations that have helped me a lot. I tried to get into meditation several times before I found this app, and this is the only thing that has stuck.

Sucks about the understaffed piece :(. That’s nice that your team tends to help each other, though. If nothing else it sounds like they’ll be understanding about you taking time to disconnect every week.

Thank you Manager. If this persons does not take your advice here. I’m implementing every single thing said here in my own life.
God bless you!!

As you grow with your company and take on more responsibilities, delegation becomes MANDATORY to be effective in your role.

Just don't confuse delegation as an excuse to get away from tasks while you don't work on anything important. Rather, use it to grow efficiently by working on the most important tasks while others help you.
