In the morning you caress to work, dreaming to break your leg and get three months old on the hospital, and in the evening we crawl from work, dreaming only about the sofa. It seems to you that from 10 to 18 you are doing some meaningless nonsense, and your HR maliciously fought off the office of assholes and gibbles.
But once all this seemed to you the work of the dream. Something went wrong? Yes, nothing special, ordinary professional burnout.What is burnout?
This, speaking a psychological hairdryer, a reaction to prolonged stress. And stress can happen from anything - the boss-Durilka himself does not know what he wants, the work is monotonous, like a cautious, or nervous, like a war, WHO was poured on you and a small duties cart. Enough 2-3 months of such a life so that the first symptoms of professional burnout appear:
Health. Then sneeze, then snot, then the head hurts, then the ass ends. Stress weakens immunity and exacerbates chronic sores. Because the body is hunting relax. Naturally, at least a carcass, at least a chuck, even on a hospital bed.
You do not care. Enclose this epochal contract with the Holding "Sepulki and Ko" or not, will sweep the budget from Chumki or survive, what they wrote about your office in the profile edition and whether you have a new branch in Nestokhrensk - yes anyway. Can I go early today?
You twitch. In the printer ended the paper? Oh God, what a nightmare, how much can you, you will no longer bring it. Did the report for five minutes detained? I will go, I will make Harakiri, it is a failure. Inadequate reaction to small trouble is one of the most obvious symptoms of burnout.
Apathy. Nothing pleases and does not burst - in no office, nor in the outside world. You barely smoother and suspiciously reminding zombies.
How not to burn at work
Do not slide at work. This is a huge piece of life, of course. But still, this is not all life. You still have your girlfriend's girlfriends and friends, faithful mukhtar, rollers, mom with pies, sex, bacty lessons, cactus, a ticket for the nearest Open-Air and Mashka, which for half a year calls to visit Peter. If nothing is not - urgently pretty it. And get rid of the habit of checking the workmail, fastening with the gang and walking with Mukhtar.
Do not take work in the house. The sky gave you a laptop not so that you have a family hearth with customers and amounted to commercial offers. The sky gave you a laptop to view the showrooms, reading Pics.ru and Rzchacha in Facebook. The work should end exactly when you close the office door. Everything, then let it be without you.
Alternate tasks. After each peeking, our high-organized brain takes time to calm down. Therefore, never planning a few nervous or unpleasant things in a row. If in the morning you have according to the plan - a report before an enraged boss, do not go immediately after it for some tough negotiations - better fields of flowers, scattering a piece of paper on the table or creep with a cute Skype partner.
Remember why it is for you. This is not another deadly working day. This is 1/20 part of the cost of a trip to Chile. One chamber in the direction of your own apartment, where one room will be in Moroccan style, and the second is in Scandinavian. Find your own reasons to work.
Change the situation. Do not stick to the weekend in front of the computer - this is enough for you at work. Choose on nature or at least walk around the city, according to the catches, which were never. The brain is vital for new impressions, otherwise it will buck.
Be disadvantaged. The boss is beneficial for you, filled with a sense of self-reoperties, hurried on his gallery 24/7. Yes, you already inspired yourself that you should miss half a day - and everything, the office will fall apart, the staff will go to the world. Or you will be fired to the lands of the dog for laziness and the uniformity. So, irreplaceable we do not.
Look around - for sure in the next room there is some Sikildhequa, which is always late, during working hours, looks at the seals about the seals, regularly takes the round - and nevertheless works successfully and gets the same salary as you, the Great Martyr.
Turn off perfectionism. For the performance of work at the proper level you have an hour. To polish and bring to perfection - four more. Gorky irony is that for most tasks there is no foremost perfection (if you are not called Hattor Hanso, you do not live in Okinawa and do not make samurai katana). If you were told to "dig away and dinner", then the corop. But do not polish then the walls of the trench and do not lay out them with Venetian mosaic.
