What we forget though in the process is that in both situations, we no longer have control over them. Stressing over the past and the future won’t change a thing: you will only lose the beauty of the present where the real magic and breakthroughs happen.”He also said that multi-tasking can lead to feeling of burnout.Celis, who is also a book author, added: &quot;Another thing to be mindful about is wanting to address all things at the same time. Take this to heart: no — not everything has to happen all at once. Multi-tasking to the max will only leave you feeling tired and frustrated, which increases the chances of feeling overwhelmed and burned out this early.”This is very common to those returning to their 9-5 jobs where deadlines were set aside during the holidays causing them to pile up and disrupting the usual flow of work. Celis also encouraged everyone to have a clear goal and create action plans.“A structure can work best as we begin the year anew. Start off by identifying your goal clearly and listing down the things associated with it. Then narrow down your priority. Best if you work with one only. If not possible, try choosing at most three but make sure you rank them accordingly based on importance and feasibility. Leave all other stuff on the side as you create action plans, at least five, based on your chosen priority and monitor and celebrate your success, big or small, as you tick off your to do list. By doing so, you get to focus your time, energy and resources strategically,” said Celis.Celis concluded by highlighting the importance of support for everyone.“Don’t be ashamed to acknowledge that you need help. So whether you reach out to family members, friends, an office mate or a mental health professional, do what’s best for you. The earlier you help yourself, the more you can make the most of this year while it’s still on its infancy stage,” he ended.
