1 Recognize the signs

The first step to prevent burnout is to be aware of the signs and symptoms. Some common indicators of burnout are feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, cynical, or detached from your work; having low energy, mood, or concentration; experiencing physical problems such as headaches, insomnia, or illness; and losing interest or satisfaction in your activities. If you notice any of these signs, don't ignore them. They are signals that you need to take action and make some changes.

2 Set boundaries

One of the reasons why educators experience burnout is because they have too many demands and responsibilities, both at work and at home. To avoid overextending yourself, you need to set boundaries and prioritize your tasks. Learn to say no to requests or commitments that are not essential or aligned with your goals. Delegate or share some of your duties with others, such as colleagues, family members, or friends. Establish a clear separation between your work and personal time, and avoid checking emails, messages, or calls after hours.

My mentor must have told me a million times (or many times) to 'set boundaries.' I wish I listened! As a new educator, I felt my job was 24/7. Every call, every task felt like a top priority. It was fun initially, but slowly became overwhelming. Burn out was a new term for me then, but I was pushing a car with flat tires! That's when I set boundaries: No office work after reaching home (separating work life) Sharing work with colleagues (giving up some control but gaining support) Saying "No" to tasks outside my priorities (focusing on what matters most) It took time to adjust, but these boundaries saved me! I felt more energized and became a better educator for my students (and a better family man). You should try it too!

This is a definite rule you should follow. Putting in clear boundaries around your work life balance and also at work is an absolute must. You can’t do everything so learn to look for ways to delegate, creative ways of getting stuff done and then learn to say no or not now. Looking at effort V output to see where you can add marginal gains to your productivity and perhaps free up some time. Build thinking time into your schedule.

3 Take care of yourself

Another way to prevent burnout is to take care of your physical and mental health. This means eating well, sleeping enough, exercising regularly, and avoiding substances such as alcohol, tobacco, or drugs. It also means finding ways to relax and recharge your energy, such as meditating, reading, listening to music, or spending time in nature. Additionally, you should seek support from others who can understand and empathize with your situation, such as your peers, mentors, counselors, or friends. Talking to someone can help you vent your emotions, gain perspective, and find solutions.

One thing I found really helpful was understanding that everyone has a different tolerance, and mechanisms which work for one, may not work for another. It is important to look after yourself in a way that benefits you. Go to your ‘go to’ places to support you. For me it’s daily meditation, getting time out in nature be it walking or running, QiGong, when times is tight just making sure I have a daily dip in the daylight. We all have our own stress funnel of different sizes and capacity. Consider what you can do to let ‘stuff’ out of the funnel and chose healthy ways to fill your cup. One glass of wine may be helpful but a bottle maybe not.

4 Keep learning

A third strategy to avoid burnout is to keep learning and growing as an educator. Sometimes, burnout can stem from boredom, stagnation, or lack of challenge in your work. To combat this, you should seek opportunities to enhance your skills, knowledge, and creativity. You can do this by attending workshops, webinars, or conferences; enrolling in courses or programs; reading books or articles; or joining online communities or networks. By doing so, you will not only improve your professional development, but also renew your passion and enthusiasm for your work.

5 Celebrate your achievements

A final tip to prevent burnout is to celebrate your achievements and recognize your impact. Often, educators focus on the negative aspects of their work, such as the problems, mistakes, or failures. This can make them feel discouraged, inadequate, or hopeless. Instead, you should focus on the positive aspects of your work, such as the successes, improvements, or feedback. You should also acknowledge your contributions and value, and appreciate the difference you make in your students' lives. By doing so, you will boost your confidence, morale, and satisfaction.

I wanted to add is “Practice self-reflection”. In my experience, taking the time to reflect on your experiences, emotions, and overall well-being is vital for mental and emotional health. Regular self-reflection can help you identify early signs of burnout and make necessary adjustments to prevent it from escalating.
