Interrupting Cycles of Frustration & Burnout
Identify the causes of your frustration and burnout. For example, you may be working on too many projects at once. If this is the case, you should sit down with your manager and explain your workload. He may be able to give you a delay or delegate some of the work. You can also try to block out specific times in your schedule so you can focus on a specific task. This will help you feel more in control of your time and prevent you from being distracted by several things. Another primary source of frustration and burnout is a lack of time.
Self-undermining
The most effective way to stop the cycle of frustration and burnout is to recognize the signs and symptoms of the problem and begin working on a solution. The signs of burnout include decreased creativity and performance, reduced motivation, and difficulty focusing. They can be physical, emotional, or behavioral. Fortunately, burnout can be cured. You must recognize the signs and symptoms of burnout and address them as soon as possible.
Burnout can have severe consequences on daily functioning. It reinforces the loss cycle of daily demands and exhaustion and undermines the gain cycle of job crafting and engagement. For this reason, burnt-out employees need support and help to address the structural causes of burnout. Human resource managers and organizations must play a central role in this process by recognizing the individual needs of their employees.
