The #1 cause of burnout is not what you think | Liz Wiseman for Big Think+

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Working arrangements also affect peoples' experiences of burnout and could be a contributing or mitigating factor to burnout, depending on the individual. 30% of those working from a fixed location (i.e., based at the same office/working location) cited this as a contributing factor, compared with 34% of field-based workers, 16% of home workers and just 17% of hybrid or agile workers. Meanwhile, 30% of workers said that being mandated back to working in an office or fixed location said this had caused them stress which may have contributed to burnout.

Here are some recommendations for how to avoid burnout due to your working arrangements:

Structure your day: If you work from home, you can think of your workday in the same way as if you were going to the office. Try to have a dedicated workspace, ideally a quiet place away from others and distractions. Try to get up in plenty of time to get ready for work. Make sure you have everything you need there for your working day. Plan your start, break, lunch, and end times. Sticking to an end time can be as important as a start time. We all need to recharge our batteries.

Make sure to have a break: No matter your working arrangements, breaks are important to refresh yourself and they can help you be more productive. Taking a five-minute break away from your screen each hour can improve your wellbeing and improve your concentration. Don't feel that you have to be at your screen all the time to prove you're working. You can use some of these breaks to incorporate mindfulness techniques into your daily routine, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises.

Set boundaries: Clearly define work hours and avoid regularly working beyond them. Turn off work phones and put devices out of sight outside of working hours. When faced with excessive workload or unrealistic deadlines, ascertain if there is flexibility around delivery times and what further support would be helpful to alleviate pressure and stress. When working from home, if you live with others, it might be difficult to separate home and work life. It's important to set boundaries about when and where you do and don't work. You can have a discussion and agree on things together. You could write down your work schedule for the week and put it up in a place where all household members can see it. It is important to have clear home and work time.

Stay in contact: Working from home doesn't mean you should silently concentrate on your work all day. You can still talk to colleagues by audio or video call. It's good for everyone's wellbeing and it is good to check in with others. Book in regular contact with your manager and other colleagues.

Manage your time: Time management in your job can influence your wellbeing and mental health. If you manage your time well, you can feel relaxed and in control and achieve the goals you want. But if you manage it poorly you can get stressed and be less productive. When you have a lot of things to do at work, it can be hard to decide what to do and when to do it.

Decide what you want to achieve:

Assess each task

Make a plan

Be flexible

Think about the four Ds when managing your workload: Ditch (does this task need to be done?), defer (could it be done at a later date?), delegate (could someone else complete it?), and do.

Whether working from home or not, many people are feeling burned out during the coronavirus pandemic.

A new survey found that nearly 90% of respondents in more than 40 countries felt that their work lives were getting worse during the pandemic. And more than 60% felt that they were experiencing burnout often or very often.

Workplace burnout was a growing problem in many professions even before the pandemic. For example, burnout has been common among physicians and health care workers for years.

In 2019, the World Health Organization brought some attention to the issue by defining burnout as a syndrome associated with chronic stress at work that goes unmanaged.

It's important to address burnout because it has serious consequences for individuals' mental health - it's a risk factor for depression, substance abuse and even suicide. Burnout can also be contagious and often affects entire workplaces.

We asked some of the top experts on the topic for tips to recognize and address burnout in oneself and in the workplace. Here's what they told us.

Burnout is more than you think.

Psychologist Christina Maslach of the University of California, Berkeley has been studying job-related burnout since the 1970s. She says burnout is more than the exhaustion that people think defines the experience. In fact, burnout has three components. One is the exhaustion - physical and emotional - you feel when you've been too stressed at work for too long. But burnout also comes with a feeling of cynicism about work. "You know, it's ... 'take this job and shove it' sort of thing," says Maslach. "And you begin to switch from trying to do your very best all the time to do the bare minimum."

The third component, she says, is when you start to blame yourself for it. "Thinking, 'What has gone wrong with me?' 'Why am I not good at this?' 'Why can't I handle it?' "

Spot the signs of burnout and regain some control.

One way to catch the early signs is to make a daily practice of asking yourself multiple times during your workday how you are feeling, says Dr. Jessi Gold, a psychiatristat the Washington University in St. Louis.

"It can even be helpful to sort of note your mood throughout the day," says Gold. "Like, 'Every time I have a meeting with so-and-so, I feel horrible, and then every time I'm with this person or doing this thing, that's where I find most meaning.' "

Lack of control is one factor in causing burnout, so knowing those things can help you find ways to reduce the more stressful parts of your job or find ways to buffer the stressful bits with things you enjoy.

For people working from home during the pandemic, Gold suggests creating a workday routine like you had when you worked from an office. "Get up at the same time, get dressed," she says. "Sometimes even pretend-commute. So get up, go for a walk, like you would go for a commute."

This helps put boundaries between work and life and helps you have some control over your day.

Know when you're working too much.

A heavy workload is another big risk factor for burnout, says Maslach. "You have way too much to do. You don't have enough resources to actually do the job well. You don't have enough time." As a result, your brain and body are perpetually stressed and after a while are unable to perform as well.

So it's important to take breaks, says Dr. Gaurava Agarwal, a psychiatrist and well-being coach with Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and the director of physician well-being.

We need to make sure "we are resting and calming our brain down because brains aren't designed to work this hard, this long, chronically," he says. "And so taking that five minutes in an hour or one day a week to your ability to recuperate is going to be a big part of dealing with that exhaustion."

Employers and managers need to address burnout.

Workplace culture has a huge impact on burnout, says Maslach.The absence of reward or recognition in the workplace, lack of social support or a sense of community, and the presence of unfairness, bullying and discrimination increase risk of burnout. That's why Maslach and other researchers say that burnout is a systemic issue and that organizations need to take a systemwide approach to addressing it.

For example, a 2019 National Academy of Medicine report on burnout in the health care industry recommended that organizations address the root causes of burnout, say by making workloads more manageable, by providing incentives for more collaboration and teamwork, and by creating an organization-wide culture where employees feel safe.

Agarwal also encourages leaders in workplaces to talk openly and compassionately about burnout, especially now, during the pandemic. "By being transparent, by being compassionate, by showing grief, leadership, what you're doing is you're building the sense that we are in this together and we are going to get through this together," he says. "And we have frankly gotten through difficult times before. So what happens is people start leveraging those experiences. And in some ways, that's the heart of resilience."

Learn interesting words to describe food. For a while, it seemed like nearly everything was "Nice". Remember?

You would tell someone you went to the store. Their answer? "Nice".

You just got a new hat. What did you hear? "Nice".

It got to the point where, just for kicks, you considered saying something like, "I burned down the courthouse and crippled the global economy". Just to see whether the response would be, "Nice".

In much the same way, doesn't it sometimes feel like "Very good" or "Delicious" are overused words like "Nice" used to be? What if there were all kinds of food adjectives? Well, guess what. There are!

Food Adjectives

These phrases wouldn't normally be used in the here-and-now. For instance, if you're eating in a restaurant and a waiter asks how is your food, you wouldn't answer with these words. But after you get home, if someone asks how your meal at the restaurant was, you might say-
These words are what you might answer when the waiter asks how your food is: Describing the meal, you might say it was:
Flavorful-But flavorful can go either way. It can mean full of flavor, but not really very good tasting.
Describing food in more detail, you can use any of these:

Hot

Spicy-Not necessarily hot, but getting close

Sour

Nutty-A nut-flavored after taste.

Rich-Heavy.

Tangy-Causing a tingly feel in the mouth, the way an orange does.

Gamy

Herbal

Yeasty

Peppery

Smoky

Sweet

Acidic

Earthy

Sweet and sour

If you describe a restaurant's food to someone, you might use these words:

Filling-Not necessarily good. But filling

Palatable-Can mean very good or barely edible.

Piquant-A good choice of spices, full flavor..

At home or a friend's house, if they ask how the food is:

Tasty

Scrumptious

Yummy

Delicious

Very good

Add "And Filling" to any of the above and you have complimented them twice

Food can be described in many ways. The problem with some words is that, if you don't phrase them right, or if they are said by themselves, they can be taken as insults. For instance, If you are at someone's house, and they ask how the food is, and you say the food is "briny, it is likely to be taken to mean that the cook got the dish too salty.

If you answer, "Full of Flavor", it can be taken to mean the food is either very good or too strong-perhaps too peppery. If, however, you say, "Good" before "Full of flavor", a nice meaning will definitely be communicated.
What if the food tastes awful?
Cut your losses. Answer something like, "Wow, Did this take a long time? Is that __________(name a spice) I taste? I never thought of trying that before.
And, of course, if you didn't like the food at a restaurant, telling a friend how it was:
Hopefully, though, there aren't very many restaurants like that around.

Part 1-style questions

Examiner: Do you enjoy buying clothes?
Pedro: I used to ... yes ... like most young people I was a bit of a slave to fashion and I'd always have to buy that shirt or pair of shoes ... I'm not so bothered now though ... I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing something old fashioned but I'm not as bothered as I used to be about what I wear ...

Examiner: What kind of clothes do you like to wear?
Marco: I prefer casual clothes actually ... I hate getting dressed up for special occasions ... personally I think it's possible to look good in a pair of jeans ... but that's my opinion ... I don't think my wife would call me a fashion icon that's for sure ...

Examiner: Are there many clothes shops where you live?
Sylvia: Yes ... there are lots in my town ... apart from the big chain stores we've got a couple of really nice shops that sell vintage clothes ... old clothes but in a classic style that never really go out of fashion ... I love going there...

Part 2-style task

Describe someone you know who dresses well. You should say

who they are

how you know them

what kind of clothes they wear

and say why you like the way they dress.

Tomoko: I'd like to talk about one of my teachers ... Miss Evans ... she teaches us English in the school I go to ... we always look forward to seeing what she's going to wear when our lessons start ... she's always very well dressed and takes a lot of pride in her appearance ... it's not that she dresses in very smart clothes ... she doesn't come to school dressed to kill or anything like that ... but what she wears really ... and she has a great sense of style as well ... we often ask her where she gets some of her clothes and most of the time they're just ... and she says she's not interested in designer labels or anything like that ... she doesn't seem too concerned about keeping up with the latest fashion ... she just wears clothes that are ... yes ... Miss Evans is the person I think looks great in the clothes she wears ...

Part 3-style questions

Examiner: What factors do you think affect the clothes we choose to wear?
Maki: It depends ... where we are or where we're going is a big factor ... if you are going out to a club or party you're going to dress for the occasion ... and then there are those who think it's important to look like they're ... they'll want to wear the latest fashions ... there are lots of factors really ...

Examiner: What kind of things determine what is in fashion and what we should be wearing?
Martin: I suppose the big fashion houses and fashion shows must have an effect but the clothes you see on the catwalk don't always reflect what normal people wear ... so I suppose it will be things like what singers are wearing in videos or models are wearing in magazines ... that kind of thing ...

Examiner: Is it possible to look good without spending lots of money on clothes?
Corinna: I'm sure it is ... yes ... I suppose it's about having an eye for what looks good ... knowing how to mix and match different items of clothing that go well together ... I think you can pick up great bargains in charity shops ... sometimes for youngsters even hand-me-downs can look good ...
