Timeout is better than Burnout

From time to time we find ourselves so busy that the idea of taking a break sounds absurd.

Even when we are tired, we sometimes opt to continue working until we complete our task. Only after the task is done, do we take a break.

This is a good way of getting things done, no doubt, but at times leads to burnout – a state of emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion.

Burnout is a terrible thing. It reduces your productivity and saps your energy, leaving you feeling increasingly helpless, hopeless, cynical, and resentful. Eventually, you may feel like you have nothing more to give.

However, taking a break in the middle of your task is at times a better alternative.

Think about it.

Taking a break in the middle of your task enables you to relax and prepare to be more productive. It gives you time to renew yourself emotionally, mentally and physically. It increases your productivity and boosts your energy.

Suggesting taking a break in the middle of a task may seem absurd at first – especially if you are a very busy person – but when you consider the renewal that comes from doing so you will agree that timeout is better than burnout.

So here are 10 Easy Timeout Ideas:
1. Go for a walk/jog
2. Hit the gym
3. Take a friend out for lunch
4. Watch a movie
5. Spend time talking to your family
6. Clean
7. Visit a gallery or exhibition
8. Have your friends around for a braai
9. Pick up a hobby you have neglected
10. Find a popular spot to sit and people watch

All of these are just suggestions to help you get you off your task and create some time to renew yourself emotionally, mentally and physically.

Position Yourself for Success - Part 4

In the bible, one of the best descriptions of a competent person is
that of a “noble wife” (Proverbs 31:10-18). Competence is the eminent
feature in her qualities:

She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.

She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.

She gets up while it is still dark.

She provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls.

She considers a field and buys it.

Out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

She sees that her trading is profitable.

Her lamp does not go out at night.

She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the
bread of idleness.

Possessing all these abilities enables her to effectively run her
home. Without them, her household would be in a mess.

In addition to enabling her to effectively run her home,

Her abilities make her valuable. “She is worth far more than rubies.”

Her abilities make her trustworthy. “Her husband has full confidence in her…”

Her abilities make her efficient. “She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.”

Her abilities make her self-confident. “She is clothed with strength
and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.”

Her abilities make her praise-worthy. “Her children arise and call
her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.”

Like a noble wife, a competent person has a specific range of skills,
knowledge, or abilities that makes him or her very effective at what
he or she does. He or she is also valuable, trustworthy, efficient,
self-confident and praise-worthy.
