The most common cause of burnout, even among highly successful people, is poor energy management, says psychologist Sarah Sarkis. Here’s how to fix it.
First, spend one to three days keeping track of all your activities, from commuting to scrolling on TikTok. How and where are you spending most of your time and attention?
Categorize each action as an"energy credit" or"energy debit." Credits are the things that energize you, and debits are activities that feel draining.Once your energy audit is complete, identify patterns. Did you spend a lot of time on your phone? Did you get enough sleep? Such patterns could be"self-sabotage, undermining your efforts toward high performance," Sarkis says.
Or, develop a plan to recover from stressful activities. Try a therapeutic exercise like meditation, yoga, journaling or going for a walk outside. Schedule it in your calendar like you would a doctor's appointment or a meeting with your boss. The small change can make a big difference in how you feel, and what you're able to accomplish, Sarkis says:"You'd be surprised how much energy we waste on things that don't matter."Sign up for our new newsletter!
