I think there are two very helpful skills when it comes to preventing burnout: 1. Being able to know where your limit is 2. Being able to tell your boss were your limit is Many of us try to be good at their job and are not afraid to give constantly 120% but while focussing on the task at hand we put aside our physical needs. And telling your boss you have enough work for the next days and that any additional tasks will have to wait, is something many people are afraid of. Often they fear to give the impression that they are not enthusiastic about their work. In my opinion, everbody who tells his boss about his or her capacities cares about the efficiency of the company.
