Makers, what are you doing to prevent burnout?

Only music can save us!

This is such an important question. For so long my tactic was to exercise to clear my mind, but this made me tired physically to add to the mental stress! 🏋️‍♀️ The best thing I've found is to be quite strict and have one day off per week. This means being away from my laptop and emails as much as I can be. I get in touch with friends and have a day totally away from things - this helps massively and I feel so refreshed when I come back to work. 🧠 I just launched Switch (check out my profile if you want to support it today!) and this tactic was so crucial leading up to launch and helped me to generally be more relaxed today! Let me know if you have any questions about Switch!

just give yourself time to relax, go outside, meet friends/fam or even new people. i'm geting so much inspo for these things.

Scheduling daily and weekly breaks (if they are on my calendar, it's less likely I'm missing them), physical activity, taking one full day to engage with something non-related to work or study (friends, family, etc).

Sports - a 45 min routine every morning that is having a different type of sport every day: weight training, cycling, calisthenics, movement training, swimming and weekends bouldering. Having something different every day makes it very enjoyable!

I would say it's important to do the things you love. I hit the gym, play tennis and connect with friends over a drink.

💡 We looked at how to avoid burnout by focusing on tasks completely unrelated to what you do at work. Sort of a refresher for your brain. Have a look at this post: https://www.weavit.ai/post/3-way...
