Evaluate your options, talk to your employer, and take all your leave days. Use these days to slow down and reconnect with yourself and your loved ones, take a break, and recharge.
Don’t think so much about work while you are on leave. Concentrate on doing things you like. Go out with a friend you haven’t spent time with for months, travel upcountry and breathe fresh air.
Live a little. Leave days will help you balance between work and other duties, which in the end improves individual performance.
Work-related stress may lead to emotional or physical burnout. Exhaustion may also lead to a feeling of minimal accomplishment and loss of personal identity.
Taking a step back especially when under pressure is very important, as job burnout can affect your health. While it may not always be possible to avoid extreme working conditions especially when you have targets and deadlines to meet, burnout can significantly affect your productivity.
