A path toward conquering pandemic burnout

📋 Today’s tip: Choose 3 priorities for the day.

You never leave the house, yet you’re busier than ever, right? Sure, you’ve reclaimed the time you used to spend commuting to and from the office, or chatting with Jeff from IT (such a talker, that Jeff). But you’ve also lost many of the natural boundaries you once had between work, home, and everything in between.

Here’s how to take charge of your bandwidth: Start by identifying three priorities for each day, and building your schedule around them.

“Set aside several one- to two-hour blocks on your calendar so that you can focus on larger projects without distractions,” advises the entrepreneur, business coach, and author Charlene Walters on Medium. “Be sure to schedule everything (even breaks and meals) so that you better manage each day.”

You’ll never be able to do All The Things, but you can prioritize the things that count. From there, the rest will fall into place.
