Signs of burnout and imbalanced
work-life
• Persistent fatigue or waking up in
the middle of the night.
• Constant feelings of burnout,
anxiety, and irritability.
• Inadequate time for self-care and rest.
• Struggling to concentrate at work
or frequent procrastination.
• Perfectionism driven by unfounded
concerns – if fear of mistakes or
meeting deadlines dominates,
reconsider whether the role
or business aligns with your
aspirations.
Nurturing a healthy
work-life balance
To ensure that your work
and home lives complement
rather than clash, consider the
following steps:
Establish boundaries. While
challenging, setting clear
boundaries is vital for better
balance. Limit after-hours
use of work devices or apps.
If you’re going on vacation,
disconnect effectively.
Pursue your passions. If job
dissatisfaction is growing,
reassess your situation. Can
you afford a pay cut for a
more ful昀椀lling role? If not, 昀椀nd
adjustments that can lead to
a positive change. Consider
exploring alternative industries.
Change may be overdue.
Prioritise health and wellbeing.
A robust health and 昀椀tness
routine can signi昀椀cantly change
your overall wellbeing. Allocate
time for regular exercise, keep
a balanced diet, and moderate
alcohol consumption. Avoid
relying on alcohol as a daily
reward, as it can lead to
unhealthy habits.
Are you relating a little too much to these signs?
In that case, it might be time for a reassessment.
You don’t necessarily need to quit your job or
make drastic changes, but re昀氀ecting on your work
desires is essential to a happier future.

Re昀椀ne time management.
Review your schedule if it’s
昀椀lled with back-to-back
meetings. Identify areas for
optimisation. If commuting
consumes hours, consider
public transport for productive
reading or email responses.
Focus on quality time with
loved ones. Reconnecting with
family and friends serves as a
vital recharge after challenging
days or weeks. Ensure you carve
out time for them and soak in
the positive energy.
