Creator burnout is not something I take lightly as it has the power to completely halt your

content and business If you are not careful when was the last time you burnt out you may be

experiencing this now or you may be trying to prepare for the future and prevent this from happening to

you In this episode I will go over my three best practices and checks that I use to

ensure you do not get to the point of burning out before that If you are looking to accelerate

building your digital business growing your content setting your content up correctly understanding the creator

economy I recommend you subscribe to the newsletter This is a free resource for you

businesses You can find this link in the description if you're interested to join Let's start with why

setting clear boundaries as a creator is so important to your longevity You've heard this before but have you really

taken time to set those boundaries I did not do this When I first started Even after about

two years of creating of working I found myself I was very tired I was

creating OK content but still pretty subpar and I was not really enjoying the process at

all Only after I had to stop for two months did I realize I had burnt out to the

point I almost quit When you set the right boundaries As a creator you're allowing yourself to create to

work hard but also to step away which is equally important So you can prolong

the business and keep going What are some action steps to setting these boundaries for your business

or your content designate work hours define specific start and end times for your work

day Stick to those times be strict about them to avoid sort of bleeding into your personal time You can

also create a dedicated workspace This really helps me set up a physical or virtual workspace that is solely

used for work This can help to signal your brain that it's time to focus

and time to stop my workspace is where I work This is where you see most of my videos come

from This is my desk This is where I do things When I step away I

step away you can also implement work free zones These are areas or times where work is not

allowed This can be during family meals or even in your bedroom benefits Of this provides more work

life balance helps in separation from work and personal life which can reduce stress You can

increase your satisfaction in both of these areas Focus will also increase creating a more mental and physical environment conductive

to pro producing those work hours getting the most out of them The biggest long term solution you could

do for yourself set up a content production system to follow month after month after

month If you're interested in doing this in a structured way you can find links in

the description for this please make sure you're following Leave a comment down below Let me know what

system you currently use for your content If any how this is working for you I if you're

struggling um and where you're struggling with that let's talk about prioritizing self care This will

really help keep your business running smoothly Self care is important for a creator for a

business owner even a personal brand in general If you are not spending the time away

from the business to enjoy life you're probably sacrificing quality and you're ultimately hurting your brand overall I

struggle with self care myself personally as I always want to keep working but you can only work

so hard for so long before you hit that wall When this happens all business stops So what are

some action steps for self care you can take as a business owner schedule regular breaks use techniques like the

Pomodoro technique I utilize this often 25 minutes of work followed by five minute break This helps you

ensure you're taking regular pauses You can stand up walk around exercise and movement incorporating this physical activity

into your routine Uh can really help keep things fresh can help you with that new

motivation and also things just like healthy eating focusing on that throughout the day can help

keep you sharp can help keep you focused on the content on the business and on your

audience which are all very important things benefits of this overall is going to enhance

your overall well being These areas are often overlooked but they will increase your productivity

as well When you're well rested When you're healthy we tend to be more focused and

more importantly more efficient in the work And the last part of this is managing your workload doing this

as a creator or a business owner will ensure better overall growth I talk about this a

lot because it is a problem for me that I believe many of you also suffer from when

it comes to managing this workload This does not mean you're taking on as much as

you can as fast as you can which is tempting to do This approach will work

for a little bit but it can leave you feeling overwhelmed What happens when we take on too

much too fast Generally we tend to produce lower quality that low quality will yield low

quality results If you produce 10 pieces of content all low quality quickly you will probably get

in the same time frame there are some action steps to manage this workload properly Break tasks into small

chunks divide large projects into small manageable tasks This makes them less overwhelming and much

easier to take on and set realistic goals I use something called smart specific measurable achievable relevant

time bound goals to guide your work and attract that productivity you're looking for and track the progress So you

can see the results you're getting you can see how you're scaling those results and you

can utilize your time better So you come back refreshed by incorporating these steps into your routine you can create

a much more balanced and more sustainable approach to your creative business can significantly reduce the risk

of burnout if you want to work on burning out if you want to ensure

you don't burn out I suggest you look into setting up your systems for yourself These are

very important I have two flagship courses that I create on these on digital products

and on content creation because I believe they are the most important things for your

digital business I encourage you to check the channel links in the description and I will

see you in the next one
