Startup Launch and Job Burnout Syndrome
Startup Launch and Job Burnout Syndrome
People aren’t like robots, are they? Unique psyche makes them creative and fragile at the same time. Unfortunately, psyche can be slowly damaged even by the best job in the world, if one doesn’t pay attention. A burnout can start evolving when you finally see the way to lead your startup. Definition of occupational burnout syndrome is continuous unrevealed stress associated with the job. It affects the most purposeful, hardworking and inspired people, the people working with people.
This syndrome can be represented as a formula:
stress level * personal qualities = professional burnout.
This means that at a certain level of stress, the psyche begins to “close down” in order to protect mental and physical health. After all, the consequence is not only the failure of the start up management, but also problems with attention and memory, and even coronary heart disease. A businessman can face it at every step, elaborating lean development methodology or leading the most successful world-famous projects.
Are You Tired or Burned Out?
Job burnout syndrome is known to workaholics, people sincerely loving their jobs and working 24/7. And how can you not, launching a startup company, studying startup programs, getting your first clients and improving your unique product? Fatigue is typical, and fast rhythm is necessary for your profit and self-esteem. Still, you need to ask yourself once in a while:
- Do you feel rested after a long night sleep?
- Do your anxiety and irritation go away after a working day?
- Is there enough time for your loved ones, and do you want to spend it with them?
- Is there time for yourself, for relaxation and just doing nothing?
- Are the results satisfying? Do you still love what you do?
If more than 3 answers are “no”, stop and think: is the job burnout easier to be treated or prevented?
How to Prevent?
- don’t overthink
- delegate responsibilities
- find time for yourself, your hobbies, family and good night sleep
