AVO I D I N G BURNOUT AT YO U R STA RT U P

STARTING A BUSINESS IS TOUGH.

RUNNING AND SUSTAINING

THAT BUSINESS IS EVEN

MORE STRESSFUL.

NOT ALL STRESS IS BAD.

IT PUSHES AND MOTIVATES US…

BUT TOO MUCH CAN BURNOUT EVEN

THE BEST EMPLOYEES ON THE PLANET.

TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE

EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL

HEALTH OF YOURSELF AND

YOUR EMPLOYEES.

HERE ARE A FEW WAYS TO

KEEP MINDS FRESH AND MAKE

DAYS A BIT EASIER TO

HANDLE AT YOUR STARTUP.

Get Out

• Encourage flexible schedules and

independent responsibilities

• Work from Home

• Go for Walks

• Find a “Happy Place”

• Arrange outside events

Shift your Mentality

• Change your reactions to

negative stressors

• Look at difficulties as learning

experiences

• Realize you don’t have control

over everything

Say No

• Value your time

• Think about the benefits and

negatives of new engagements

• Gravitate towards large

opportunities instead of small

• Avoid the unnecessary

Stay Organized

• Save time by implementing an

effective organization system

• Give everything a proper place

• Avoid losing time, money, and

resources

Prioritize Tasks

• Identify and accomplish your core

tasks each day, week, or month

• Couple them with time slots and

time limits

• Set up slots for larger tasks,

outside your core responsibilities

There are thousands of articles and

books on ridding your life of stress

but it’s pretty simple:

Focus on the good and get rid of

the unnecessary.

Stay organized, fresh, and focused

on taking over the world.
