1 Acknowledge Burnout

The first step in combating burnout is acknowledging its presence. As an educational technology professional, you're accustomed to solving complex problems, but this challenge is different—it's personal. Accept that burnout affects many in your field and that it's not a sign of weakness. By recognizing the symptoms—exhaustion, lack of enthusiasm, and frustration—you can begin to address the underlying issues. Remember, acknowledging burnout is a sign of self-awareness, not failure.

In my opinion, people who are perfectionists are often too ambitious to notice signs in their own bodies telling them to stop, I need a break. It is very important to tune yourself into this voice and rest.

Burnout is a fact in the schooling system. The word "School" originally comes from Greece's "skholē" meaning "spare time, leisure. We have lost sight of this view in our transactional world. The one who gives will demand things in return creating acute stress, leading to burnout. Can education have a process to explore, discover, dialogue, create, design, help, collaborate and help the learner experience, grow and mature in goodness and flower as a human being? Parents- especially mothers doing parenting as a joyful process out of happiness and love do not feel burnt out although intensely engaged with a newborn. Can the people involved in education facilitate a process of similar co-creation with mutual respect and care?

2 Seek Support

When burnout hits, it's essential to reach out for support. Connect with colleagues who understand the unique pressures of the educational technology sector. Share your experiences and listen to theirs; such exchanges can provide mutual comfort and practical coping strategies. Additionally, consider professional counseling or support groups where you can discuss your challenges in a safe environment. Support networks can be invaluable, offering fresh perspectives and emotional solidarity.

En mi experiencia, contar con una red de colegas y amigos en el sector de la tecnología educativa ha sido invaluable, especialmente en momentos de burnout. Aunque no trabajemos juntos, estos colegas se convierten en una red de seguridad emocional y profesional. Me ofrecen consejos, apoyo y, en ocasiones, soluciones cruciales cuando enfrento desafíos. Esta red de apoyo no solo me ayuda a sobrellevar los momentos difíciles, sino que también enriquece mi enfoque profesional con nuevas perspectivas y estrategias.

3 Set Boundaries

Establishing clear boundaries between work and personal life is vital in preventing burnout. As someone who works with technology, it can be tempting to be 'always on,' but this can lead to exhaustion. Designate specific times for checking emails and completing work tasks, and stick to them. Ensure you have time to unwind and participate in activities unrelated to work. Setting boundaries helps create a healthy work-life balance, which is crucial for long-term well-being.

Burnout happens when we fail to keep boundaries at intrapersonal and interpersonal levels. Here are some ways to start with setting boundaries: Firstly, recognise the areas where I need boundaries. Second, chunk out the projects into smaller manageable tasks (week wise/day wise/hour wise). Thirdly, learn the art of saying no to not so important or 'beyond your capacity' tasks. Finally, ask for professional help who can assist you to bring a work life balance into your life. This way we can help ourselves overcome burnout and stay enthusiastic towards work and life.

4 Prioritize Health

Physical and mental health are the bedrock of professional success. Prioritize activities that bolster your well-being, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and sufficient sleep. Mindfulness practices like meditation or yoga can also be beneficial, especially for managing stress. By taking care of your body and mind, you'll be better equipped to handle the demands of your career in educational technology and mitigate the effects of burnout.

5 Reassess Goals

Sometimes burnout stems from feeling disconnected from your original goals. Take time to reassess what drew you to educational technology and what you hope to achieve. If your current role no longer aligns with these aspirations, consider exploring new opportunities within the field that can reignite your passion. Setting new professional goals can provide a renewed sense of purpose and motivation.

Revisiting your goals is essential. This action alone can help prevent burnout. In my humble experience, one of the causes of burnout is when your objectives and fundamental principles of how to behave professionally are at odds with what is happening in the company where you work. It is necessary, then, to rethink your relationship with this company. Make mental adjustments if possible, or else, look for a place more in synergy with your way of being and thinking.

6 Embrace Change

Finally, don't be afraid to embrace change. The field of educational technology is constantly evolving, and so too can your approach to your career. Experiment with different teaching tools or methodologies, attend professional development workshops, or take on new projects that challenge you. Adapting to change can stimulate learning and growth, which can be powerful antidotes to burnout.
