<br>

2️⃣ Schedule rest: Intentionally plan downtime in your daily routine. Make time for hobbies, relaxation, and self-care.

<br>

3️⃣ Prioritize tasks: Focus on completing the most critical tasks first, and learn to delegate or eliminate less essential ones.

<br>

5️⃣ Practice gratitude: Celebrate your accomplishments and appreciate the journey. A positive mindset can help prevent burnout.
