Module 9 - Taking care of yourself
3. Chapter 9 Wrap-up
Key take-aways
- Ultimately, you’ll struggle to find people who regret taking the plunge. So, whilst we’ve outlined a lot of work and highlighted heartaches, the main message to take away is: You’ve got this! There are lots of people who will want to support you and the world needs you. If you haven’t started, what are you waiting for?
Time to stop and think: how will you ensure you don’t burnout? How are going to take care of yourself?
Now, let’s get active!
- Look at the tasks on your to do list and place them on the Eisenhower Matrix based on whether they’re urgent/not urgent and important/not important.
- Come up with a self-care routine. It’s important to set aside time for yourself to avoid burnout and to be able to bring your A game to work. So, define your non-negotiables (e.g. morning yoga, after work gym session, turning off devices at a certain time, an hour’s lunch break, meditation, daily reading ritual…).
