Well past a year since COVID-19 first struck, there are those of us who are still getting our job done at home. In simple terms, the trend of working from home (or at least variants of it such as hybrid work) aren’t going away anytime soon.
The multiple conveniences render it a really good option for work-life balance. No long commute. No schedules set in concrete.

With a lot of distractions, distancing, and ever-increasing workloads, one is bound to be exhausted. This is what’s known as work burnout.
The key to addressing said burnout is not to just treat immediate symptoms with another cup of coffee, but to address the individual root causes that are driving it. This can be done in just 5 steps.
