Refuse unrealistic plans for yourself and your team
One of the most common sources of stress, frustration and burnout among managers is setting goals that are too high and simply not feasible. If company management is pushing you to commit to unrealistic plans, you should firmly resist for the sake of your mental health.
Don't be afraid to talk about your own mental health
Being a manager does not mean you have to be invincible or you cannot admit to being under stress or mentally exhausted. On the contrary, set an example to subordinates and speak up when you need to disconnect, or when the workload is becoming overwhelming.
Relax and learn to manage stress
Remember to relax. Rest must become one of your key priorities if you want to work sustainably and avoid burnout. You should also work on improving your ability to manage stress and strengthen your emotional intelligence so you can identify your personal stress triggers and emotional lows.
Use modern technology so it works for you, not against you
Technology, databases, and digital systems can often be a source of frustration. Try to find ways to use modern technologies which will favour rather than frustrate you. This applies both on a personal level and in your team environment.
