Infographic: 6 Simple Ways To Avoid Burnout

Today’s infographic comes to us courtesy of thesimpledollar.com, and is related to 6 simple ways to avoid burnout (and stress)

The Simple Dollar is a blog and website about dollars and sense. On the about page of the site it says “The Simple Dollar is a blog for those of us who need both cents and sense: people fighting debt and bad spending habits while building a financially secure future and still affording a latte or two. Our busy lives are crazy enough without having to compare five hundred mutual funds – we just want simple ways to manage our finances and save a little money.”

It’s a good blog, and has interesting content, and I recommend that you check it out. It is also the source of today’s infographic “6 Simple Ways To Avoid Burnout.” In the blog post at thesimpledollar.com, Nicole writes:

Studies estimate that stress costs US businesses up to $300 billion dollars in lost productivity each year. In the wake of such statistics, there is beginning to be a larger discussion about burnout, which is essentially when stress and pressure (often in the workplace) have become so great that overall quality of life and quality of work become negatively impacted.

This infographic explains some possible warning signs that burnout may be on the way, and some tips on ways to attempt preventing burnout from taking hold and sideswiping productivity—and worse, overall well-being. Read on to find some interesting and potentially helpful tips, and to gauge if any of the offered suggestions, like spending more time in parks, taking breaks every 50 minutes, or even perhaps scheduling a vacation might prove helpful for you.

So pay heed to the well researched information. Take breaks, take a vacation, and read Jive in the (415)! Well OK - it doesn’t say read Jive in the (415), I was just checking to see if you are reading.

Enjoy!
