I'm looking forward to maternity leave so that I'll have a 3-month break from work :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wrestle-with-burnout#post-55038 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:47:36 +0000 heffalump 55038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to. When I started working they were very clear on my job description, which only included working on site. And as the months went on more and more people were getting laid off, and I had to do their jobs too, which led to traveling and doing things I was never trained for. So I felt awful because I was awful at my job because I was poorly trained and had no time to do everything.</p> <p>And I quit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wrestle-with-burnout#post-55017 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:34:05 +0000 MrsH 55017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually when I burnout it is in a big way or with one particular project at work. In the case of a single project I just try and get it done to the best of my ability and move on. When it is the big way kind well it usually takes me a while to get back in the groove but I try and avoid distractions during that time to be able to get some actual work done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wrestle-with-burnout#post-54502 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 11:43:04 +0000 LazyLightning 54502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. All the time. Truth is, I don't manage it. I just slog again and hope the motivation will come back someday. I was pouring too many glasses of wine each week (my waistline was starting to show it!), so I have dumped that habit aside from on the weekends... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wrestle-with-burnout#post-54413 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 09:40:07 +0000 winniebee 54413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Feeling that way lately after a busy end of the year and gearing up for the baby. No amount of time off seems to cure it lately though...and access to hellobee during the day doesn't help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wrestle-with-burnout#post-54410 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 09:36:56 +0000 mrsjyw 54410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! We call it the "F-its" around our corner of the office. I honestly let myself take a mental break. Without it, my work suffers more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wrestle-with-burnout#post-54318 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:36:45 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 54318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I try to switch things up when I'm feeling the burn out... If I don't take breaks all is lost... And sometimes I have to allow myself to do an adequate instead of excellent job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wrestle-with-burnout#post-54315 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:19:27 +0000 mrbee 54315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sure do, especially when it's past midnight and I'm still working!</p> <p>The good news is that I just poured my doctor-prescribed one glass of wine. Savoring this...</p> <p>Do you ever wrestle with burnout? How do you manage it? </p>
