Manage Your Work Life Balance and Avoid Burnout - Alexandria, Arlington, Washington DC
Summary
Many times, we have heard staff say, “What day is it?” or “I feel like I work past 5 pm more often now than before.” Are we showing greater loyalty by sending emails after 6 pm on a Friday because we work from home? The Harvard Business Review published some tips about this topic in the article, Avoid Burnout. A new modification across the company is the use of unified colored categories in our Outlook calendars to categorize blocks of time. As an example, block the time, “personal”(grey), to remember to check on the kids who should be in Distance Learning, not playing FortNite. Perhaps, you are scheduling team huddles or check-ins, use a specific color so at quick glance you could quantify how many reoccurring meetings you have for the week.
