How to Avoid Burnout: The Importance of Change of Pace

Last week I was out and about a fair bit, with 2 trips to London and a weekend of basketball I was not home much so had to be smart with the time I had.


This week I have a much slower-paced week. No travelling and time set aside to work on the priority tasks for this week, and anything that got rolled over from last week.


I have a clear list of the priority tasks that need to be done this week to keep me on track and I have timeboxed my calendar to ensure the time is protected to get them done.


I have booked into my gym classes to ensure that I stay active, and even set an alarm to ensure that I am winding down before I go to sleep. I have booked in some time with a friend to give me some time out and will be looking forward to another basketball game at the end of the week.
