I'm curious, what does "no SoMe" mean? I tried to search but not having luck figuring out what it means.
To respond to your question though, I've dealt with this in the past and the biggest thing that I try to focus on is, "What do I want to excel at working on?" In the past, I've had numerous activities (work, side projects, family/friends) going on at any given time and would rarely say "No" if people brought new opportunities to me. After operating like that for a while, I came to the realization that by having so many activities I was effectively putting minimal effort into most of them. Personally, I don't like giving something only partial attention due to decrease in quality, so when I realized that I was not really giving all these activities the attention I felt they deserved I decided to cut back. I went through all the activities I had going on and decided which ones I wanted to keep for some time.
Something else that might also help is a prioritized list of what you care about. I feel the exercise of going through and really thinking about what you care most about will help determine what you should focus on to avoid burnout
The last thing I can think of is taking things towards the bottom of the list (assuming they are small activities) and rotate them. As an example, I rotate my personal research, analyzing stocks/crypto, and playing video games. They are all things I enjoy but I can't do them all in the same day/week without feeling burnt out.
- pramodbiligiri 6y ago“no SoMe” is probably “no Social Media”.
