1. Productivity ≠ Burnout
Many people think that the more hours they work, the more productive they become. This is a myth! It's not the amount of time spent, but the quality of work that matters more. Try the “tomato” method: 25 minutes of focused work - 5 minutes of rest.
2- Rest is part of the process
The brain is not a machine, it needs a break. Ever noticed that the best ideas come in the shower or on a walk? Regular rest doesn't make you lazy, it makes you smart.
3- Don't be afraid to say no
When you take on too much, productivity goes down. Filter your tasks: is it really important? Do you really need it? Or do you just don't want to say no?
4. Get moving
Physical activity not only improves your health, but also boosts your energy. Even a 10-minute exercise or walk refreshes your brain better than coffee.
5. Sleep is your main tool
Lack of sleep = low productivity, irritability and stress. 7-8 hours of sleep is not a luxury, it's a necessity.
💡 Conclusion: work should be enjoyable, not just tiring. Find your balance, and you'll see productivity grow without feeling burnout.
