A small business owner can get so bogged down in running his business that he has no personal life. He may not even realize that his wife left him - last year. To prevent burnout and keep your relationships strong, be sure to devote at least a small portion of each day to yourself and your family.
1. Make sure you get enough sleep - 8 hours is the norm.
2. Eat healthy meals - taking your own will save time and money too.
3. Don't be tempted to eat in the office. A break will refresh your mind.
4. Get exercise - it's important for your health. The experts advise 20-30 minutes a day.
5. Dress appropriately. If you are regularly seen in dirty rags, what sort of image will it give your business?
6. A ten-minute power-nap in the afternoon is well known for it's energizing result.
7. Stay focused by using 20 minutes at the end of each day to plan the next one.
8. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Especially important if you like strong coffee and work in an air-conditioned environment.
9. Keep your evening meal as family time.
10. Schedule some ‘me' time to prevent burn out.
