Your job doesn’t have to deplete your energy.
Learning to recognize these fatigue signals is crucialstop glorifying the grind and start working like a human.
Dr. Nusha Nouhi, clinical & health psychologist, offers tips for those struggling withwork-related fatigue.
Miciano recommends three categories: high-spend, mid-spend, and low-spend.
Each morning, check in with yourself: how much energy do I actually have today?
Then plan your day to match that realitynot your ideal version of productivity, Miciano says.
This pacing respects your natural rhythms and helps you avoid burnout from energy overdrafting.
Take Short Breaks
Micro-breaksbeat long breaks, Dr. Nouhi says.
Short, intentional pauses throughout the day (even just five minutes!)
can improve cognitive performance and reduce fatigue more than a single long break.
When fatigue hits, reaching out rather than withdrawing can be the most energizing choice you make.
You dont have to wait until you clock out or sign off to do this.
Evening light exposure resets circadian rhythm and supports better evening alertness and eventualsleep quality.
