myself out.\u00c2\u00a0 I let too many projects overlap for a week or two, and the result is usually lost sleep and high stress.\u00c2\u00a0 The surprising thing is, I do this intentionally.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m a believer that if you want to know where the line is drawn, you need to cross it occasionally.\u00c2\u00a0 Playing it safe and never crossing the line means you have no idea where that line is.\u00c2\u00a0 And since both productivity and keeping my sanity is important to me, it helps to know where the line is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00c2\u00a0 When Do You Burn Out?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The line I\u2019m talking about here is your burnout threshold.\u00c2\u00a0 The hypothetical mark on your to-do list that separates high-productivity from complete meltdown.\u00c2\u00a0 If you don\u2019t know where this mark is, you\u2019re severely handicapped when planning for projects and for keeping normal stress levels to a minimum.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the burnout threshold is difficult to guess at.\u00c2\u00a0 Some people grossly overestimate how much they can handle.\u00c2\u00a0 They set up goals that assume perfect productivity for 16 hour work days non-stop to finish their projects.\u00c2\u00a0 Other people underestimate this threshold, and end up wasting capacity that could have brought them closer to their goals.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s a <em>Controlled <\/em>Burnout<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Where I live, in Canada, I see a lot of controlled burns.\u00c2\u00a0 A controlled burn involves setting fire to an area of bush or grasses.\u00c2\u00a0 Ironically, the goal of a controlled burn is to prevent fires.\u00c2\u00a0 By burning in a controlled fashion, you can reduce the risk of a larger, unstoppable fire later.<\/p>\n<p>I advocate a similar philosophy for productivity.\u00c2\u00a0 Having a controlled burnout in many ways can prevent out-of-control burnouts later.\u00c2\u00a0 By knowing where your burnout threshold is, you can take steps to smooth out projects so there won\u2019t be debilitating workload crunches later.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nFinding Your Threshold<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A controlled burnout means overlapping your projects, but only for a short time.\u00c2\u00a0 This way, if you can\u2019t handle it, the period where you\u2019re under high pressure is only for a week or two.\u00c2\u00a0 If you can potentially see it coming, you can avoid the uncontrolled burnouts where the overlap lasts months or years, and you\u2019re forced to abandon projects entirely just to survive.<\/p>\n<p>For me, this usually means that I plan ahead so that I have an overlap for 1-2 extremely busy weeks.\u00c2\u00a0 I make sure that the timeframe isn\u2019t longer than this, in case I can\u2019t handle it.\u00c2\u00a0 But at the same time, I don\u2019t avoid all overlaps because then I\u2019ll lose valuable information about my productivity limits.<\/p>\n<p>Project overlaps aren\u2019t the only way you can test your limits.\u00c2\u00a0 Setting short, but incredibly difficult goals, also checks where the line is drawn.\u00c2\u00a0 Setting a very difficult 30 Day Trial, might not result in a new habit, but it tests to see what your limits are.\u00c2\u00a0 Without knowing the limits, you\u2019re forced to chronically undershoot them.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nAvoiding Both Chronic Stress and Chronic Under-Capacity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Burning out frequently is a sign you\u2019re not planning your resources correctly.\u00c2\u00a0 Productivity doesn\u2019t mean you need to live in constant red-alert, working 16-hour days.\u00c2\u00a0 But at the same time, always avoiding a burnout means you never know your upper limits.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t know your upper limits, then it is much harder to set any new goals.\u00c2\u00a0 You might be extremely driven to accomplish them, but you won\u2019t know how far you can push forward.\u00c2\u00a0 You won\u2019t have had the experiences of crossing the line, so you won\u2019t aim anywhere near your real capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you don\u2019t want to go on kamikaze work missions, you can have the right attitude.\u00c2\u00a0 The best attitude isn\u2019t believing chronic high-stress is desirable.\u00c2\u00a0 But, it also isn\u2019t one that refrains from ever approaching that upper limit.\u00c2\u00a0 I think you need to be willing to occasionally cross the line, even if you want to stay on one side of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a habit of
