Trend today and death tomorrow? How not to lose yourself in pursuit of big money

Burnout is a rapidly spreading disease among the working-age population. Two years ago, the World Health Organization recognized this.

“Today” will tell you how not to lose yourself in the pursuit of wealth, but on the contrary – to continue to achieve success in your chosen field.

This disease is diagnosed in workaholics. The number of people who die from the disease (caused by overwork) is growing every year around the world.

Sometimes we don’t realize that the relationship between the quantity of work and its quality is not always obvious. We ignore the problems, because workaholism today is the norm and trend.

Stages of professional burnout

1. It all starts with enthusiasm… A person’s eyes are burning, he is trying to be everywhere and completely, pulling with him all the weight that is intensely involved in the project. It would seem, what’s wrong here? An energetic worker at the peak of his development, he is doing great, but after a while the second stage begins.
2. Fatigue and stress… Thoughts about work do not leave, it even appears in dreams. In this case, professional interest is triggered: I don’t want to fall face down in the dirt, so I’ll continue so as not to disgrace myself.
3. Emotional and physical exhaustion. I don’t want anything, but I need to work, there are many unfinished tasks. This exhaustion can lead to depression.
4. Discouragement at work… This is the phase of irreversible exhaustion. Work becomes a part of a person, there are no other occupations, but it destroys him from the inside. At this stage, people basically change the scope of their activities.

Moreover, if the mistakes are not taken into account, but to act according to the same scenario, then everything is repeated. So the employee jumps from one activity to another, in some places changing them radically. One can forget about the gradual development of the individual and his (even small) contribution to the history of the state. And even more so about large funds.

You can’t earn enough by rushing from one to the other. It can really end badly for you. And also imagine how much energy and time is spent on the constant study of a new area, at a time when it was possible to work calmly and make money.

Back to life

Balance at work – a medicine that will solve all your problems. Here are some tips to catch yourself in time and not go crazy:

• working time limit. The night was invented for sleep, not for work;
• vacation from the word vacation. Do not carry work with you;
• plan your rest in advance and do not delay until the last, when the physical strength is no longer enough. Spend time alone with nature, she will give you a particle of inspiration and energy;
• remember your own value, do not become a person dependent on the opinion of the environment. It is not worth overworking to be appreciated more. Think better about the quality of the work;
• if you really hate strength – take a break. However, plan it and be well prepared (financially, too).

Scientifically speaking, doctors say: frequent lack of sleep, as well as late falling asleep (it even equates to lack of sleep) are the result of many diseases, in general, a deterioration in the emotional state of a person. And you can’t buy health for any money.

Visionary, not performer

Delegation is the simplest and most effective way to avoid burnout. Who said you can’t buy time? It is real, when the work that someone will do faster, somehow of better quality, you delegate to someone and accordingly pay money for it. And you yourself have time for something more meaningful or really something that no one can do better for you.

Trust your colleagues and mentees. Prepare the ground so that you can move on rather than go back to little things over and over again. This is especially true when you are building your business.

Become a visionary, not a performer. Be a leader, not a workhorse.
