Burnout is real but there's are ways to prevent it...

22d ago in LinkedIn

One year ago, I reached a breaking point. I was working 12-hour days, barely sleeping, and constantly feeling overwhelmed.

The pressure to keep up with everything led to burnout. I was exhausted, uninspired, and questioning if this path was even worth it anymore.

So, I made the hardest decision of my life.

I stepped back.

I cut my work hours in half, reorganized the way I ran my business, refocused on my health, and prioritized time with family.

At first, it felt impossible. I feared falling behind. But something incredible happened.

By giving myself room to breathe, I came back stronger. My creativity flourished, my productivity improved, and I was more energized than ever.

By focusing on the things that I enjoyed doing I was able to feel energized while doing them.

Looking back, burnout wasn’t a sign of weakness—it was a signal to reset.

Lessons Learned:

1. Success is not defined by how hard you work, but by how smart you work.

2. Rest is not a reward—it’s a requirement.

3. True productivity happens when you protect your energy.

4. The fear of falling behind is just that—a fear. Prioritize yourself, and success will follow.

5. Balance isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.

Have you ever felt this way? What's the most effective way to prevent burnout?
