This module helped me to accept that burnout is normal and nothing to be ashamed of. I often hold myself to an unobtainable standard for fear of failure. This module provided helpful ways to avoid burnout. The one I found most interesting and would have never thought to do was to schedule downtime. I also enjoyed the reminder of forming habits by setting up a 21-day routine. I plan to schedule a ten-minute zen session in my office between my long lab classes.
Sleep and nutrition is important to maintain to avoid burnout. Making sure to get at least 8 hours of sleep and having a healthy diet full of proteins and veggies can help avoid burnout.

Taking the time to take care of yourself, whether through getting enough sleep, exercise, proper nutrition, or other ways, will decrease the amount of burnout that you encounter, and can help productivity and quality of life in general.
Quality sleep is extremely important to overall success and wellness.
You have got to be able to stop and take a time out so to speak. just step back and take another look at whatever is going on. Even if it is to just get a cup of coffee or a water and breath for a minute. It will usually help your re-focus with more clarity.
