Be honest with yourself and others about how much you can do. Make a list of all the projects you\u2019re working on\u2014both professional and personal\u2014and see if it\u2019s realistic based on how much you can <em>comfortably <\/em>get done.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find that you\u2019re regularly shifting into the grind mindset to meet all your commitments, then you\u2019ve taken on too much and may be heading for burnout. In that case, it\u2019s time to prioritize and simplify. Which projects on that list are most important to you? If you had to pick just one project to devote yourself to, which one would it be?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ali Abdaal adds that, to avoid this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/3-types-of-burnout-and-how-to-overcome-them\/\">type of burnout<\/a>, <strong>you need to get comfortable with telling people \u201cno.\u201d <\/strong>Remember that other people don\u2019t know exactly how much work you\u2019re doing or how much energy you have, so they\u2019ll often ask you to take on more work when that isn\u2019t feasible for you. Trying to please everyone is a sure way to burn yourself out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Many people struggle to say \u201cno\u201d to anything\u2014it feels selfish and hurtful, even when it\u2019s necessary to do so. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/essentialism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Essentialism<\/em><\/a>, Greg McKeown provides some tips on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/essentialism\/part-3#tips-for-saying-no\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how to overcome that discomfort<\/a>. First, remember that rejecting someone\u2019s request doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re rejecting that person, it just means they asked something of you that you aren\u2019t currently able to give. Second, remember what you\u2019d be giving up if you accepted that request: your time, your energy, and (in the long run) possibly your well-being. Finally, recognize that giving someone a clear \u201cno\u201d is much kinder than giving a noncommittal response, leaving them wondering whether they can rely on you; saying \u201cyes\u201d and then reneging on your promise is even worse.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find Your Priorities With the Eisenhower Matrix<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trimming down your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/gtd-to-do-list\/\">to-do list<\/a> can help you avoid burnout, but how do you actually do that?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former US President Dwight Eisenhower created the <a href=\"https:\/\/todoist.com\/productivity-methods\/eisenhower-matrix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eisenhower Matrix<\/a> as a simple method to prioritize items on your to-do list and, just as importantly, determine how to approach each task. The matrix is divided into four quadrants based on two variables\u2014importance and urgency:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Important and urgent\u2014do it. <\/strong>You should do tasks that are both significant and time-sensitive as soon as possible (or at the required time). Examples include treating a serious injury or going to a doctor\u2019s appointment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Important but not urgent\u2014schedule it. <\/strong>Something that you need to do, but don\u2019t need to do <em>right now<\/em>, should be written into your schedule so that you make sure to get to it promptly. Examples include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-plan-for-the-future\/\">planning for the future<\/a>, working out, and making time for rest and recreation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Urgent but not important\u2014delegate it. <\/strong>The ideal way to handle<strong> <\/strong>tasks that are time-sensitive, but not important to you, is to get someone else to do them (preferably someone to whom they <em>are <\/em>important). Another way of thinking about this quadrant is time-sensitive tasks that don\u2019t need you, specifically, to do them. Examples include running errands and attending (some) meetings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Neither important nor urgent\u2014ignore it. <\/strong>Something that\u2019s not important and not time-sensitive is, by definition, something that you can safely ignore. Examples include mindlessly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/news-feed-scrolling\/\">scrolling social media<\/a>, taking unimportant phone calls, and playing video games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you have too much on your plate?
