Being an entrepreneur is not for the faint of heart. Between cold emails and calls, managing client expectations, negotiating rates, completing the actual labor, and renewing business, it doesn’t leave much time in the day for anything other than work.

The pressure of running a solo-venture often leads to the psychological phenomenon known as burnout. Burnout is the result of being overworked and taking on too many responsibilities. It can cause you to lose motivation and interest, thus decreasing the quality of your work.

Fortunately, burnout is preventable. Here are a few tips to help entrepreneurs avoid burnout.

frequent breaks
It might seem counterintuitive to running a successful business, but taking breaks during your workday can drastically improve your productivity. There are several other psychological methods for integrating breaks into your daily routine.

Your cognitive ability steadily decreases the longer you attempt to hold focus — taking frequent breaks during your workday can help you recharge your brain and increase your productivity.
it’s also important that you’re taking effective breaks. An effective break is one by which you completely disconnect from your work. Try meditating or doing yoga to clear your mind completely. A short nap can also be an effective break, especially during the afternoon when your energy levels typically start dropping the most.

focusing on your health and wellness
Frequent aerobic exercise can increase the size of your hippocampus, which is the area of the brain associated with verbal memory and learning. Physical activity also releases endorphins, which can improve your mental wellbeing and decrease stress (which is one of the leading causes of burnout).

The foods and drinks you put into your body also affect your focus, energy levels, and productivity. Therefore, integrating a more nutritious diet can help you avoid burnout and improve your overall wellbeing. Additionally, getting quality sleep should also be a priority as well. There are many side effects to poor sleep habits — it decreases your ability to concentrate, demotivates you, makes you more irritable, and most importantly, it increases your risk of early death by 12 percent.

finding opportunities to delegate and outsource
Taking on too many responsibilities, especially outside the core competencies of your operations, can be detrimental. Focus on the core competencies of your business and find tools, resources, and people to help accomplish the rest.

While the strategies above can help you decrease the chance of burnout, if you start to feel yourself falling into bad habits, try to remember why you chose to be an entrepreneur.

If you wanted the flexible schedule, make sure you actually enjoy the free time this career affords you. If you want autonomy, don’t lose your creative freedom or become too dependent on one client. If you indulge the challenges of launching your own venture, try to find opportunities in the struggles and lessons in the failures.
