Of course, the reason could have been that I was up all night with a sick child or wasnt feeling well myself or I just had an argument with my spouse and was still stewing about it.

I used to work with someone who was an assistant in the Human Resources Department of a major law firm and has now become the Director of Human Resources in that same firm. Of course if you know in the probationary period that this is just not the right fit for you, better to get out rather than being in a job you hate.

I find the best time to think about what I need is when I have a nice quiet time to do that. Of course that usually doesnt happen at work so I take about an hour of my home time, but it is well worth it the next day. Being prepared doesnt have to be hectic, but can just be a good habit you get into.

Some of the younger bosses are certainly qualified and know how to do some things administratively, but is it an efficient use of their time and is it good job security for us?

As hopeful signs of an economic recovery have begun to emerge – and with exhausted workers struggling with stress – it’s more important than ever that people find time to recharge their batteries, says Paula Caligiuri, author of “Get a Life, Not a Job, “ (FT Press, $18.99). Once you get to burnout, it’s very difficult to recover,” she says.
