Set professional and personal goals
Some managers are so busy creating goals for their team and subordinates that they forget about themselves. Everyone needs to have a vision. Everyone needs goals and to be heading somewhere to feel motivated. So set goals for yourself, both professional and personal.
Don't ignore your own development
Sometimes there is so much managerial work to do that managers forget about their own personal development. This point builds on the previous one: remember to bear your own learning in mind. Keep up to date with new trends and set aside time for training, reading and personal development.
Plan your relaxation and breaks
In planning your work activities, be sure to schedule in some relaxation. We all need to switch off from time to time. This is why it pays to plan breaks during the working day when you can be free from distractions and work on your own things. This is important not only in terms of productivity, but more importantly for your overall mental health.
Learn to delegate work effectively
It is surprising how few managers know how to delegate work effectively to their subordinates. Yet this is one of the most important skills to master to avoid the risk of overwork and burnout.
Learn to talk about your mental health problems
In Czechia only a very small number of people go for therapy. A lot of people (including many managers) are afraid to talk about any psychological problems in front of others for fear of showing some weakness. You don't have to go to a psychologist or therapist right away, but it is certainly a good idea to learn to talk about your mental health problems, be it, for example, only with family members.
