Burnout and Stress Management - at work

62% of Indian remote workers feel pressured to respond to work messages during off-hours, leading to burnout and a shaky work-life balance.

Why am I sharing this?

Because if you’re drowning in constant notifications and feeling the weight of being "always available," you’re not alone.

Research from companies like Tata Group reveals a double-edged sword: while WFH brings flexibility, it also piles on mental strain. Many struggle to maintain a structured routine or separate work from home, especially when juggling family distractions or makeshift office setups.

Here’s the thing: it’s okay to set boundaries. Being home doesn’t mean being on-call 24/7. Your mental health matters. Burnout isn’t just draining—it’s avoidable.

Just like navigating a tough job or a toxic environment, this too is figureoutable. Protecting your well-being starts with intentional changes:

Reclaim Your Work-Life Balance with These 3 Steps

1. Create “Do Not Disturb” Zones Block off non-work hours and stick to them. Use calendar alerts or status updates to signal to colleagues that you’re offline.
2. Take Real Breaks Walk away from your workspace during breaks. Even short, intentional pauses can refresh your focus and energy.
3. Set Communication Boundaries Be clear about your availability. Let your team know when you’re reachable—and when you’re not. This reduces misunderstandings and unnecessary stress.

Remember, your time is yours. Setting boundaries isn’t selfish—it’s essential. Take charge of your schedule, prioritize your mental health, and watch your productivity soar.
