Do you relate to a world where busy is the badge of honour? Is juggling your main contact
sport – leaving you stressed and exhausted, replacing any personal check in, making “never
enough” your constant reality?

Never worked harder, but the proverbial needle just does not seem to move? And still – not
enough time… not for the endless workload, deadlines, friends, family, and – most
importantly – yourself?

It’s no shock then that, according to a recent study conducted by the South African
Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG), around one in three South African employees suffer
from burnout.

While there’s a definite case for the attendance of a planning or time management course,
without insight into the individual reasons for burnout, training alone is not a full solution.
We need to dig deeper, if we’re to address the individual route issues causing burnout. This
entails evaluation, adaptation, coaching, and providing a personalised strategy – designed
in line with personal and professional goals and objectives.

Coaching considers the personal strengths, challenges, and acumen of the individual and
then provides both the psychological and physical guidance to establish healthy routines. By
creating well-maintained, consistent habits, personal productivity and efficiency are
maximised in both the workplace and at home. Venetia Butler, an International Business
Coach, Business Strategist, Speaker and Self-development Author, is also certified in the
Personal Efficiency Program, PEP® and uses many of these core aspects during her
renowned coaching sessions.

With this foundation, emotional and mental wellness are bolstered, and the power of
compound consistency realised. Effective task and deadline management – and the resultant
prevention of burnout – are too often compromised at the cost of believing it is impossible
and there simply is not enough time!

Reject the ever increasing theory that it is never enough, and neither are you. The question
that begs the real answer is: “when is it the right time to ensure every minute is spent
investing in what you desire and deserve most?”

Its right now!
