But to create a productive team, you need to keep them safe from work-related stress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the sudden transition to remote work caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, more employees around the world are struggling to keep a balance between their personal and professional lives. On top of working longer hours and losing track of time, there\u2019s the added stress of adapting to working from home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide is for both remote team managers and individuals working from home. Use these tips to help your employees or yourself avoid WFH burnout.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Employee Burnout?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What exactly is it?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.labmanager.com\/business-management\/what-is-employee-burnout-20015\">HelpGuide<\/a> defines burnout as<em> \u201ca state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds familiar?

If you are already feeling these, you are experiencing job burnout. The following practices will help you successfully feel better, healthier, and more productive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create a Schedule and Follow It&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Set up a schedule clarifying when and what you will be working on during the day or week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/creately.com\/demo-start?tempId=jvnd8ggz4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"895\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Weekly-Planning-Template-classic-895x1024.png\" alt=\"Weekly Planning Template for remote workers\" class=\"wp-image-17927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Weekly-Planning-Template-classic-895x1024.png 895w, https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Weekly-Planning-Template-classic-262x300.png 262w, https:\/\/d3n817fwly711g.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Weekly-Planning-Template-classic.png 1650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 895px) 100vw, 895px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Click on the template to edit it online<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This will help you keep your focus and more importantly stop multitasking. Multitasking is basically getting distracted by different tasks, which will eventually reduce the quality of the work you do. But by sticking to a proper work schedule you can keep your focus and work more efficiently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus a schedule helps effectively segregate time between work and personal life. Sometimes you tend to get distracted by household chores or social media, and other times you are too focused on work that you forget to take time off. With a schedule, you can maintain proper working hours and plan for time to relax and other non-work related activities. .&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tip: Set office hours. At the end of your working hours, snooze notifications on work-related platforms, or activate an automated response to indicate that you are away.<\/em>&nbsp; <em>Clarify the hours you\u2019ll be available with your team.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set Realistic Goals for Yourself<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Discuss with your team leader if you have to, and set yourself goals that are SMART (realistic, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can set daily, weekly or monthly goals depending on the projects you are working on. And track progress as you work towards achieving them. By doing so, by seeing yourself making real progress from the work you do, you can keep yourself motivated and driven.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tip: Prioritize your work by working on the important tasks first. By doing so, you\u2019ll feel more accomplished and less stressed at the end of the day or week. This will provide you the motivation you need to complete the rest of the tasks.&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have a Dedicated Workspace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Working from home comes with family members walking around, kids screaming and pets seeking attention. By setting up a dedicated space for you to work, you can set clear boundaries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it doesn\u2019t have to be a home office, a proper chair and table away from the disruption of the house will help you stay focused. And at the end of the day, you can walk out of the room as if you would leave home after work.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tip: Make sure you have the resources you need. Whether it\u2019s a working computer or access to important project information, ensure that they are available at hand.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Talk with a Teammate or Your Manager<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling overwhelmed by the workload? Can\u2019t meet deadlines? Instead of hiding the fact that you are struggling with the task at hand, let others know. They may not only offer you advice but will offer their assistance with completing the work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And your manager or team head will help take the load off you by delegating some of the tasks you are unable to do. As they know your condition, they will continue to motivate and support you throughout time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find a Hobby&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All work and no play makes anyone a dull person. Balance out your hours of office work with a hobby that you would find peace in. Whether it\u2019s solving a puzzle, working out, or learning to cook, make sure that it helps you more with unwinding rather than stressing yourself out more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take a Break<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes nothing can fix your mood than a proper break. Want to take an hour off or a day off? Take it. Spend that time taking a walk or driving to your favorite restaurant (don\u2019t forget your mask!).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019ll give you time to recharge yourself and start work afterward with more enthusiasm and energy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to preplan your time-off if you are working on an urgent project and notify your teammates early on so if they have any dependencies on you, you can clear them off before your break. Or you can forward your tasks to a coworker.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tip: The key to making it a successful break is to not think about anything work-related!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Practices Do You Rely on to Avoid WFH Burnout?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t take much to keep yourself from burning out at your job. With a few small adjustments to your routine, you can stimulate the energy required to be more productive at work or at home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Got more tips that you would personally recommend to avoid employee burnout?
