How do you keep yourself from getting burnt out? My responsibilities keep ballooning and management doesn’t like hearing “no” or that I’m overcapacity right now. It’s making me extremely burnt out and I’d love some advice on how I could address it.

Do you have any existing tasks that aren’t too value add? Usually if I pick more stuff up, I have to change the way I do something else. I feel like it should be a give and take situation where to take on more in one area you need to step away from something in another area.

Yes—I have a lot of those, but our company is quite manual right now so I still have to get them done. I’ll reassess my tasks and see if there’s anything that can be cut. Thank you!!

I’d start putting things in terms of tradeoffs instead of just saying “I’m overcapacity.” Something like, “I can take this on, but that means X will need to move back. Which should be the priority?” It makes management own the prioritization instead of silently expecting you to absorb everything. Also, document what’s on your plate so it’s harder for them to ignore how much has been added.

Great suggestion. Thank you!!

Shower thought:
Why did Toronto (or Canada?) change the exit signs from the classic red EXIT sign to the green running man? Wouldn’t it confuse more people especially elders in finding the exit?

Also isn’t it a waste of money for businesses to replace perfectly functional exit signs when renovating?
