How to Not Lose Yourself in Your Work

It is easy to let work consume us, especially when the line between personal an professional life blurs. Katie and I are no strangers to losing ourselves in our work over the years. During our conversation we look at our own personal experiences to share professional advice on navigating the challenges of staying present and avoiding burnout.

A few of the quick takeaways we discuss include:

• Stay Focused on Your Core Duties: Keep a clear vision of your primary responsibilities and be wary of tasks that don't align with your mission.
• Guard Your Time: Use techniques like "Yes, if..." to manage additional requests without sacrificing your well-being.
• Prioritize Personal Time: Block out time in your calendar for activities that rejuvenate you, and stick to it!

This episode is packed with valuable tips to help you better manage your workload, maintain a healthy work-life balance, and avoid the dreaded scope creep. Take a listen and then let us know how you manage to stay balanced and focused in your work. You can email me at [e-mail].
