Many people who have been working from home for a long time begin to feel that they are losing their passion for their work. Starting in the early morning, you force yourself to get through a pile of work with pressing deadlines.
You may spend hours working and not come up with any good ideas, and the more you work, the more exhausted you become. Your brain can't take it, but you must continue!
Before it’s too late, let’s try “switching tasks” techniques that will help you get rid of stress and avoid symptoms that may trigger chronic burnout syndrome.
“Switching tasks” is a technique that lets you get away from your task once it’s complete by switching to other activities for 15-30 minutes before continuing another task. It’s like taking a break from work for a while before starting a new assignment or project.
The switching tasks technique can help reduce stress and fatigue from sitting long hours in front of your PC. It allows you to free your mind and relax in a different atmosphere.
Because we need to carry out many tasks each day, making a daily checklist of tasks is essential in helping us prioritize and allocate time for each job appropriately. Then, we can insert some other activities in between them when we complete each task.
For example, when we finish our first project, we may switch to watering plants, stretching out, or doing chores for fifteen minutes before coming back to start our second task. Switching your work will help reignite your motivation, allowing you to achieve targets, while having time to handle other daily routines.
Many of us may have a habit of sitting for a long period from morning until the end of the day without going anywhere. Some may skip lunch, but instead turn to unhealthy snacks or just eating lunch at their desk. Instead of relaxing during the break, you are still working non-stop. From now on, you must get away from your desk, have a proper meal, and immerse yourself in a relaxing activity.
When you come back, you’ll feel refreshed and ready to continue your other tasks. The technique is easy to follow, and you’ll be surprised with the positive outcome. As most of us are working from home, why don’t you try the switching tasks technique so that your passion for work won’t burn out.
