The work never ends: a strategy for avoiding burnout
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 май 2022
- Rolling up your sleeves and hunkering down only works when you have a finite amount of work to do. However, if you're even moderately successful, the time will come when the influx of new work will outpace your ability to discharge it. Once you cross that point, this strategy becomes a recipe for burnout. In this episode, I'll discuss an attitude toward work that helps me maintain healthy work-life boundaries. The work never ends.

Love this; pacing ourselves to avoid burnout and realizing that tomorrow is another day. 💕
Thanks, Doc. I think this is applicable to times when one cannot see the end and that's why the work never ends. In the context for work load that has been broken down, assigned and scheduled by an expert, this is a case that is very doable and it is justified to put the bucket down in its expected place.
I'm currently finishing my master's degree with opportunities flying around and getting involved with them. I have also been improving from depression for over a year now. The analogy you presented helps make the weight of completing major tasks that are risky beyond my control to be bearable and accepting on my end. Thank you so much!
I'm glad you found this one useful, UOT. I ended up significantly burned out by the end of grad school. Hopefully, the same won't happen to you.
this cannot come at a more perfect timing. thanks doc!
I was like crying yesterday night thinking how many works I have not done, I felt I need to work extra hours daily to complete my task and also meet my promotion goal.
After listening your water bucket parable, I feel I should learn to rest, to carry the bucket further and the promotion day will eventually come.
thank you Dr.
Agree with You Doctor..Work life balance is very important and one needs personal time for themselves.
I very much agree with the idea that the work is never done. It is either work, partnership, parents, kids, house, friends and later in life the work consists of staying healthy. In conclusion it is important to pace and know that we need to do the important work at each stage in life. Only if we pass away the work is done. It is way more realistic and doable using this approach in my estimation. Thank you very much for all the videos!!!
Brilliant!
No one ever said you couldn’t take a rest in the endless hallway ☺️
This has been the best video I watched of yours, eternal wisdom
I am a freelance photographer and I have a lot of challenges balancing work and home life. I like the idea of this, but I'm not sure if I could apply it to my own situation. The problem I come up with is as I'm still getting established, I am taking on as much work as I can (because I need the money), but then sometimes I can get in over my head, and over-commit to jobs. If I don't deliver when I said I would, I could piss off and lose clients, so I end up sometimes working crazy hours just to satisfy clients. As I get more established I've been trying to increase my rates so that I naturally filter out the low-paying, time intensive jobs and can spend my limited time on less, but higher quality jobs. Things are getting better now, but I don't know that I could simply just stop at the end of a set time no matter what and still keep clients happy.
This is what I also do. Thank you for sharing.
There was also a perspective I learned in my youth, when I worked in a hospital, and I was full with work:
"There is only one patient at a time between my hands. Only one."
Helped me to focus, and not worry, how many are waiting, how are the others, who is next... etc., although I followed it too. You know, women can concentrate to multiple things simultaniously, but for them, it is important, to let go all the others for a while and see the one. Men do it easily, they might have the opposite problem: not to forget the others.
This was just what I needed to hear. Started a new job and am fighting the urge to pull unsustainable hours to “catch up.” This felt like a lesson in detachment for me. Will try to practice detaching the idea that hunkering down for the day to day is the only way to work
Work should never stop, if you love your work. Provided you have the ability to do so. Make yourself proud.
Hence the term about a "Honest *Day's* work" (Emphasis on "Day") : )
Thank you for your video. I have chosen such strategy just instinctively and just been proven to be right🙏
Yes, this is a healthy perspective
This is helpful in many ways
Thanks for watching, Rania!
I have found this mindset a few years ago. And it changed my life. Couldn't agree more
If you dont put the bucket down everyday, you'll kick the bucket sooner than you want to.
I became burned out after 3 years of study (not helped by perfectionism) and did the same by continuously working too much overtime. I recall working overtime to save for a deposit to buy a home and that was okay and worth the sacrifice, as it had a purpose and was time limited. Like you say the work is never ever completed, and others will pick up the bucket. Oh what a relief. Better to be strategic and decide what you want to do in life, than for the life of work potentially taking over.
I learned exactly this lesson recently after a burnout.
My simple mistake was:
I always thought that all tasks on the list combined are the 100% that I'm obligated to complete.
But in reality, what a person can actually do in 1 day is the 100% I need to aim for.
If the task list is always way more than 100%, that's simply not my problem.
I learned that 20 years too late.
I also naively assumed that it's the bosses job to do resource management. I still do. But they don't. They don't limit the amount of work that is put on their teams shoulders. Only good bosses do that.
Instead they just push all the work downwards without any filter, just hope for the best, and wait for resignations, burnouts, shooting sprees, suicides, tantrums or formal complaints. That's the lazy incompetent way. And thus the popular one.
Wonderful ❤. I am following a similar approach now. I do what I can ( within reasonable limits / boundaries) , then stop, rest , and do my bit again the next day. Learnt it after Covid in 2021 June .
I so needed to hear this today. It is such a good thing to keep in mind. Thank you
Makes so much sense! love the honesty! And yes..... the work never ends!!! ahh
echoes of David Deida here. the first time I heard "it never ends" (refer to struggle, self growth and relationships") it all started to make more sense
This is true as long as you get paid for your work. When it stops - Bye!
I'm learning to be a homemaker. Even though I don't have a man to be a homemaker for, I've realized that the learning and practice of homemaking, even just for myself, never ends. I'll never be a perfect homemaker. And I'll never have a perfect home. I do it while I can, and when I feel I've reached my capacity, I need to have my break and leave the rest for tomorrow.
I wish i could approach my work like this. Maybe its time for a career change. Great video as always, it was very thought provoking!
This was truly enlightening. Thank you.
Hey! On your middle bookshelf, left side, I believe I see Goldratts book "The Goal"? Seems like a strange book for a psychologist to read but it does touch on the importance of how our reality is based on human relationships. Bravo.
thanks for this :D
Thank you for your insights.
Jeez every ep is gold, thank you
Thanks!
Wow -- my first super thanks! Thanks, Donna :)
Very well said 🤗 thank you
sounds a little like Sisyphus but in positive sense
Thank you! This one helped def helped. ❤
I think, it depends on the kind of work you do. Personally , I love working. The fact that I can make 3k in one day is more then enough motivation for me. Odd enough when I'm working and in the zone. I'm not depressed and feel invincible! I'm curious doctor did you end up having a nervous breakdown because of how much you worked! lol hehe!
You must have a great job/profession that you really like and so dedicating yourself so much feels good and satisfying. What do you do?
@@imwatching2960 I'm in Sales and the only female in my Dept Strategic Logistics.
I've worked with a lot of successful salesmen in my practice. It can a highly rewarding profession, but precisely because there is no ceiling (you can always make one more call, close one more deal) it can become addictive or compulsive to certain folks.
Personally, I love my work -- but I definitely work to live (as opposed to live to work).
May I ask what it is you do for a living? Auto shop owner here!
3000 mexican peso.a day she mean
Well said sir!
You may have just saved my life, or at least add a few years to it, thank you
Sounds like what I deal with at work. There are things I haven't been able to deal with for ...years. Thank God I retire in 5 months, it will be someone else's burden to carry for the next 10 years.
...House Keeping, takes longer than expected. ( Sanitation is a constant battle.)
...sleep deprivation, take a break once in a while.
Until you kick the bucket😅
Jesus is my ONLY joy & ONLY strength.
Prayer is my Lifeline/lifestyle as He is my Sole (Soul) companion. i am grateful He loves me & guides me with His wisdom & understanding… i am helpless without Him (1 Thessalonians 5:14-26, Galatians 5:14-26, Titus 2:10-14, Ephesians 2:7-10).
2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, & willing rather to be absent from the body (i am absent of mind) & to be present w/the LORD (as i remain in constant 🙏🏼❤️🔥🥰dialogue for spiritual awareness as how to answer every man: Colossians 3:1-4, Colossians 4:6, Philippians 4:4-8).
🙏🏼❤️🔥🥰 Psalm 139:23-24, Proverbs 3:5-7, John 10:27-30, John 15:5-6…
In Him, i Trust to guide my steps in word & deed, in Spirit & in Truth (John 4:23-24) as i keep prayerfully focused upon Him (Colossians 3:23-24, Romans 12:10-21, 1 Peter 3:14-22) always & in all ways (Romans 8).
