🎶 I cry a lot but I am so productive, it’s an ✨art✨

If you’re a social media person, you understand how tiring this industry can be. The amount of input and output can be draining for some - if not near mental bdown inducing.

Here are some ways to help you avoid completely burning out.

1️⃣ Schedule Posts, Not Panic Attacks 📅🧘‍♂️

Use tools like Hootsuite or Buffer to batch your content creation and schedule posts. This way, your content is consistent, and you avoid the last-minute scramble that leads to stress and burnout.

2️⃣ Humor Breaks, Meme Responsibly 😂📵

Set a timer for short, scheduled breaks. During these breaks, do something that makes you happy. It could be watching a hilarious YouTube video, browsing your favorite meme account, reading a chapter of a book, or going for a walk. These moments of joy can help recharge your batteries and prevent burnout.

3️⃣ Delegate, Don’t Disintegrate 👫🆘

Identify tasks that can be outsourced or shared with colleagues. Use project management tools like Trello or Asana to keep everyone on track. Trust your team to take over some duties, whether it’s content creation, community management, or analytics tracking. Collaboration is key to staying sane and keeping your creative juices flowing.

4️⃣ Engage Honestly, Avoid Deluloo 💬🔍

Respond authentically to comments and messages. Focus on quality over quantity, and don’t get lost in the numbers game. Meaningful interactions trump numbers any day. Create content that resonates with your audience and encourage genuine conversations. It’s better to have a smaller, engaged community than a large, passive one.

5️⃣ Analytics Off, Sleep On 📊🛌

Set boundaries for when you’ll check analytics, and stick to them. Turn off notifications during non-working hours and establish a bedtime routine that promotes relaxation. Use tools to automate analytics reports so you’re not constantly checking them. Prioritize your mental health and ensure you get enough sleep to stay sharp and creative.

If you’re anything like us, sitting 8 straight hours in jeans would send us straight into therapy (calling our therapist for an emergency session, we mean). For us ✨neuro-spicy✨ girls, we love to embrace style without sacrificing on comfort — which is why we took the time to curate the perfect blend of cozy and chic pieces for our desk-friendly wardrobe.

👟From simple-yet-versatile tops, to relaxed-fit bottoms, these timeless examples speak to the inner girl boss who rather save that fight or flight feeling for their quarterly “team-bonding” Zoom.

I can tell you already, you're going to hate the very first tip.

I did this, and let me tell you - as "all or nothing" types, leveraging your "out of sight, out of mind" brain to your advantage is a winning strategy.

Learn why John Rampton suggests that disabling your push notifications - among many, many other "ruthless and radical" tips - might be the right move for you.

✨ I’ll be the first to admit it - I’m insanely guilty of setting an impossible standard for myself and taking on more than I can handle. It’s too easy to head into your day with the intention of accomplishing everything on your to-do list, only to get overwhelmed and enter a dissociative state of disappointment.

✨ All this kind of cycle does is reinforce self-beliefs of being unable to finish what we’ve started - and that negative energy only comes back ten fold, making the cycle repeat itself again and again.

✨ After removing stimulants from my life (no hate to ADHD meds - but they weren’t right for me) I had to find something that kept my brain in gear - but also allowed me to only commit to a set of daily tasks and obligations I could realistically accomplish.

✨ The dopamine boost of checking something off your list creates a reward cycle in the brain that encourages accomplishing a little bit more each and every day - but you can’t lock in those good vibes if you constantly feel like you’re failing to meet your own expectations.

✨ Sunsama allows you to understand how it feels (and what it takes) to use your time with intention. It prevents overcommitting, double booking, and action item missing, and also gives you the option to say - prioritize the same way you would a powerpoint.
