How to Avoid Moral Burnout at Work
17.12.2024 20:15
Often, working days are a series of endless stresses.
Hopeless tasks, paperwork, problems with the boss - all this morally exhausts a person and leaves him without strength.
There is a feeling of emptiness and exhaustion. However, there are ways to avoid this.
Take a vacation
Perhaps you should take a break and devote some time to rest. No work issues should bother you now. A break of just a couple of weeks is enough to bring yourself to your senses.
Make a list of work activities that you enjoy.
You chose this job once. Think about what you like about it.
Make a list of unpleasant work tasks
Chances are you have to do tasks that literally drive you crazy. Write them down too.
Spend time only on pleasant things
Nothing bad will happen if you work only on pleasant tasks for two weeks. At worst, you can just tell your boss that you are working on a particularly important part of the project.
Avoid unnecessary stress
Tell your boss that there are certain tasks that are preventing you from performing your core responsibilities well.
Offer to delegate them to another person. The employer understands that if employees do not cope with their duties at a high level, this will affect the entire company. Therefore, he will most likely meet you halfway.
Try to deal with unpleasant work faster. While you are struggling with a boring task or putting it off, you are ruining your own life. It is better to "get rid of" all the unpleasant work at once and calm down.
Ask to change departments
If you have proven yourself to be a good employee, ask your management to transfer you to another department where you will be more comfortable working.
Quit your job
Perhaps you simply can't stand being in this office anymore. In that case, consider quitting. No matter how prestigious your position, your mental health is more important.
Besides, there is a high probability that very soon you will find a truly wonderful workplace that will be many times better than the previous one. Work should not be a source of disappointment and a cause of depression.
Earlier I talked about how not to think about money.
