How To Work Hard Without Burning Out

Life is not easy

Do you ever feel that the demands of your job are too much? If so, that’s not a surprise. Modern-day life demands much of us as human beings.

That has been the case for decades. And often, those high demands result in burnout. Researchers have studied the phenomenon of burnout from the 70s.

The results? It’s not good.

Research shows that high levels of burnout are associated with the following issues:

• Anxiety.
• Depression.
• Sleep disturbance.
• Memory impairment.
• Neck pain.

And there’s more. Burnout increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
And there’s even more.

So it’s safe to say that working hard has a price.

It doesn’t matter whether your manager has high demands, or whether you have high demands of yourself.

Both result in the same thing: You can’t deal with the daily demands, and that’s what will exhaust you.

How do you prevent that? Unfortunately, that answer is not straightforward. Scientific research only investigates cause and effect.

We know that high job demands increase the risk of burnout.

But how can you keep up with the high demands of modern-day work, and not burnout?
