In this world, there are some deadly poisons. If you are used to living with wild animals, some of them have deadly poison. Some of unhealthy foods that you eat, they’re all also contain toxins. When it comes to the workplace, some of the poison comes from several causes. One of the poison is called burnout.
Burnout is a disease that often attacks office worker or labour. It hurts people mood and mentality. This poison will have a negative impact on your work. So, you need to know the cause.
Firstly, you’re working in under pressure. Heavy workload without balanced with taking the rest time is a mistake. When your productivity drops, you should stop to get your mood back. No matter how much tasks that you do, you still need a rest and the rest time will restore your productivity.
Second, you aren’t controlling your workload and time. I understand that the company wants to achieve high targets and it's hard for us to resist the workload. However, you still have to control yourself. When it's time to rest, you should use your time and don’t think about work problems. When you’re come back to home, you shouldn’t bring your work into your household. Separate your work proportionally.
Third, you’re in toxic circle. If you’re in under negative influence, your stress will increase because your friends and bosses bring bad influences into your mind. There is so much politics and drama are going on in the office and it’s having an effect into your mood. You should ignore it and avoid unnecessary conversation as much as possible.
Fourth, your boss doesn't value your skills and abilities. You aren’t only looking for a monthly salary, but you are also looking for something better like incentives, benefits and higher position. When your boss is still limiting your potential, it means it's hard for you to expect more. In this position, you can leave your current company, then find a company that is willing to pay more for your skills or abilities and finally your hard work is more appreciated by other companies.
Keep in mind, you must value your time and value your hard work. So, the poison like burnout won't happen to you again.
