Have you tried “boundaries” to be more productive and avoid burnout?

As we spend more time working remotely, we are definitely spending more time on collaborative work.

But the tasks that require focused concentration are taking us longer to complete because of all the notifications and messages we receive.

This causes our workdays to extend into the evening hours and even weekends, which increases our burnout risk.

Not only can establishing boundaries improve mental health and beat chronic burnout, it provides the space and structure for increased focus when we’re actually on the clock.

The countless productivity hacks that tantalise us with promises of peak productivity don’t really seem to be hacking it.

Time blocking can work well and help you find the time to focus on the prioritised work that matters most.

There are fundamental differences between being busy and being productive. The latter of course is infinitely more valuable than being busy.

Great article and I love the concept of “open-ended” thinking.
