Burnout: "1. Plan: A surprising number of people don�t take the time to plan their goals and plan their day. Planning immediately gives you a necessary sense of control and direction. And having a plan for the day helps you resist the temptation to overcommit. People tell me they don�t plan because they�re afraid of being disappointed when they aren�t able to follow through. Following through on your plan takes practice, and you don�t have to follow your plan perfectly to be making important progress."
