It happens to all of us…even me. I admit, it doesn’t happen to me often, but lately I find that I may be taking on more than I can handle. So what do you do when you find that your mind starts to shut down and you just can’t work anymore? Well, these tips have helped me get through the hard times, one of them I happen to be going through right now. I hope you find them helpful as well.
The first thing you have to do is get away from your work. Some people try to work through it. That just makes the problem worse. If your mind is shutting down, give it a rest. One thing I do is play my guitar. I don’t know what hobbies or interests you have, but there has to be something that you do for relaxation. Do it! Get away from the computer and pretend that business doesn’t exist.
The next thing you need to do, after you have had some time to relax and you realize that you have to get back to work at some point in time, is to sit down and make yourself a schedule. Make it light to begin with. Most likely if you’re burnt out it’s because you’ve been working too hard. So make a schedule that will be easy to follow. I might make one for a day where I write two articles and that’s it. I don’t do anything else. This accomplishes two things. The first is that it makes it so that you’ve at least accomplished something in your day and the second is that it doesn’t put too much of a strain on you at the same time.
Gradually, as you begin to get into the swing of your regular work day, you’ll increase your work load back to a manageable amount. If you found that by doing more than that amount subjects you to extreme stress and possible burnout, then don’t go beyond that point again. Learn to cut yourself off. Yes, it takes a lot of discipline, either when you’re trying to first build your business and trying to do everything that you can, or your business is already very successful and you want to keep it at a certain level.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a tough balancing act and not easy to do. But with time and experience, you’ll get good at it.
