Stress to yourself and others that when you are ‘in office’ it’s to be treated accordingly. Be sure to take weekends and holidays off the same way you would if you were working outside the home.

Being early means you don’t have to rush; there is less stress; you arrive at your destination less harried and more peacefully; you feel (and act) more in control. That sounds SO FAR AWAY when we’re thinking about entertaining, holiday shopping and year-end activities. Everyone loves to be the early bird, don’t they? I know, I know!

The people leader role can also be stressful. Burnout is a state of physical, mental or emotional exhaustion caused by long-term exposure to stress. As well, it’s always a good idea to budget more time and resources to a project than you think is necessary to lessen the stress of unexpected setbacks. Set boundaries.
