Rest. #Repost @michaelhyatt with @get_repost ・・・ [3 Reasons You Can’t Stop Working] In today’s #hustle culture we believe that working MORE is the only option for success. But we know this leads to extreme burnout. So why don’t we take more time off when we know it’s best for us? I have observed, both in my own life and in my clients’, that three reasons seem to surface.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1️⃣ You Haven’t Set Hard Boundaries⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Years ago when I was guilty of overworking, my coach encouraged me to set 3 hard boundaries: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Don’t work after 6pm.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Don’t work on the weekends.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Don’t work on my vacations.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This forced me to make more efficient use of my work time and it may help you too.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2️⃣ You Haven’t Culled Your Calendar and Task List⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you don’t have boundaries, it’s difficult to say no. But if you set firm boundaries, you have to take a machete to your existing lineup of tasks and meetings. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The truth is that not all tasks are created equal. This is where the Freedom Compass™ comes in. If you are not yet familiar with this tool, I cover it in detail in Ch. 2 of #freetofocusbook.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3️⃣ You Haven’t Cultivated Other Interests⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is one of the main reasons high-performing leaders don’t take time off. They simply don’t know what to do with themselves. All they know is work, work, work. Even when they do schedule time off, they usually drift back into work.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They key to avoiding this is to cultivate other interests and schedule time to pursue them. Literally, book appointments for leisure activities on your calendar.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you are going to be your most healthy, focused, productive self, you have to take more time off. You can’t keep procrastinating. And there’s a bonus: this will help drive your business results.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Read the FULL blog post at michaelhyatt.com/blog ⇒ LINK IN BIO.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How do you avoid overworking?
