I was reading along today and came across a great blog post by Suzanne Falter-Barns on the subject of small business owners and avoiding burnout. It deals with scheduling in some “Miller-Time” everyday where you get to do something fun. You can read her entire post at her “Painless Self Promotion“ website.

I have preached this concept to myself for years, although I most recently have been calling it “ME-time”. That is, time just for me (even if that time is spent with other people) to do something I want to. It can be as varied as watching a movie, taking a hot bath, reading, or just plain poking around the house. I have found it to be as crucial to my daily well-being as brushing my teeth. When I skip this step of taking time for myself I am bitchy, cranky, less creative, and far less productive (even though I may be “appearing” to work harder).

Since I have many years of personal experience feeling the pinch of burnout and watching those around me burn to a crisp in the corporate cubicle, I recently created an entire program based on avoiding burnout by nipping it in the bud before it has you in its grips.

If you’re feeling burnout creeping in or simply don’t want to head down that path, I recommend taking a gander at my “Free Report: Top 10 Causes of Burnout and How to Eliminate Them”

Once you’ve read the free report, I encourage you to please share some of your comments here.
