How to End Career Fatigue When Working From Home:
- Career fatigue is a precursor to burnout. It is characterized by a growing indifference about the work you do, a drop in productivity, and an increase in work-related stress. When working from home, the boundary lines between your personal and professional life can get blurry leading to more exhaustion.
- Symptoms of career fatigue. Career fatigue can progress to both physical, emotional and relational problems such as insomnia, substance abuse, heart disease, depression, and divorce.
3 Ways to End Career Fatigue
1) Explore some inner questions. Ending career fatigue begins with identifying if you are at risk. Some questions to consider include:
Do you find it difficult to concentrate?
Have you noticed a decrease in your productivity and/or creativity?
Are you easily irritated by clients and/or co-workers?
Do you find yourself questioning if your work is beneficial?
Have you become overly critical about your company or its leadership?
2) Work-life boundaries are crucial. Establish healthy work-life integration boundaries for your home office space, including the use of time-blocking and visual cues to maintain your boundary lines.
3) Taking a break is important. Incorporate restorative activities in the middle of your busy day to prevent career fatigue from progressing to burnout. A few simple techniques you can easily add to your day include flow-break cycles and being intentional about getting more social and creative rest.
