Summer fatigue or summer burnout is that sluggish feeling that you sometimes experience because of the effects of hot weather. Here are a few tips on how to curb your burn out:
1. Create some ‘unavailable hours’ for yourself and stick to them.
To help prevent summer burnout, one strategy is to have a set time every day when you give yourself some time to relax without being beholden to technology or social media. This could mean putting your phone in ‘do not disturb mode’ or not responding to emails until after your morning meditation or coffee. There’s something to be said for having some time every day when you don’t worry about what other people want from you and just catch your breath a little.
2. Don’t over-schedule yourself and learn how to say no. This applies to both professional and social demands. If you can’t juggle two expectations that will occur at the same time (or too close together), try being honest. It’s amazing how others respond when you are forthright about your limits.
3. Create a To Don’t List. Eliminate some stressors by creating a weekly to-don’t list of tasks. Evaluate each bullet point on your to-do list by asking: Can this task wait until next week without creating any problems? If the answer is yes, then put it aside.
