How do you manage burn out?

Question

I experienced burnout for the first time this week. Having to manage my new business, finding a new job to fund daily living and my start-up and personal life. I felt like both of the candles were burning out!

If you can't escape it, consider it a pleasure.

Usually have more activities so I do not feel so down when one aspect of my life doesn't work well.

I've found that when burnout hits, the best thing I can do is step away from anything work-related and dive into hobbies that have nothing to do with my job. Spending time in nature also really helps, I love taking walks or just being outside to reset my mind and recharge.

Proper allocation of work, family and time for yourself

I try to optimise my work environment in the best possible way to avoid any form of cognitive overload. 1. Fixed set of application for use 2. Planned routine and 3. Sometime with family and friends. 4. Exercise. This helps me manage myself even when I am in burn out stage. We have also built an app to avoid such burnouts for social media creators and brands. We want to simplify their life to reduce these burnouts and hassle. Feel free to support us over here: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/soshals

Change location or make your surroundings inspiring. Go on morning walks and write out what's going on.

I think the best thing you can do is understand what is happening and soak it all in. You probably expirienced a burnout because you care deeply about your life and what you're trying to accomplish (I assume).

The next best thing you can do is have a day off; read a book, take nap, go for a walk in nature and hang out with people you care about. This will help you realize that your life isn't actually that bad.

The next day, go after it again.
