Take five<\/em> is an idiom to remind us to take a break and relax for a short period of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If time is a precious commodity, how are you managing the 168 hours in a week?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assuming we sleep an average of eight hours a night, we have about 112 to spend on work and life. The first step towards creating balance is to figure out what should take priority for those precious hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for many of us, the pursuit of a healthy work\/life balance seems like an unattainable goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few practical steps we can take to identify signs of burnout and\u00a0steps to take when you\u2019re starting to feel burned out.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0https:\/\/hbr.org\/2016\/06\/steps-to-take-when-youre-starting-to-feel-burned-out<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
