Caption: Four hidden signs of burnout. Experts at Furniture at Work have identified the key signs of burnout and how to deal with them. Physical exhaustion and low energy levels. ”You may be burnt out if you feel constantly drained, even after a good night's sleep. This constant state of fatigue can make it extremely difficult to perform daily tasks.” To avoid this, they recommend aiming for 7-9 hours of sleep each night, eating a balanced diet of fruit, vegetables, protein and grains, cutting out alcohol and caffeine and doing light exercise such as walking or yoga on your lunch break. Loss of motivation. ”When feeling burnout, you can often feel a lack of enthusiasm for tasks you once enjoyed and so the drive to meet goals or engage with your work may dwindle, leaving you disengaged and unproductive.” To combat this, you can break down your tasks into smaller steps to make them more manageable. Difficulty concentrating. Burnout can impair cognitive function causing typically easy tasks to feel much more challenging. “If you're struggling to concentrate, you could try time management techniques such as the Pomodoro Technique, which involves working in 25-minute chunks with five-minute breaks in between”. Increased irritability and mood swings. ”If you are experiencing prolonged stress, you may become more irritable, so minor inconveniences can feel unmanageable, and you may be prone to emotional outbursts.” Breathing and mindfulness techniques, such as yoga breathing, can be an effective way to calm your mind and stabilise your mood.
