Work Burnout

It's really important for the COO to make sure that they don't burn out in their role. And because they're in such a high stress environment, often a high growth company, or lots of demands on their time from people and projects and the stress of growth, the stress of normal day to day, it's important for them to take care of their health. Whether that means having a successful series of morning habits where they wake up in the morning, they start slowly, they get some exercise, they take care of themselves and protect their own confidence and protect their own bodies. They eat nutritiously during the day, taking some breaks during the day, either for quick walks around the building or to de stress. And they also don't over schedule themselves. I try to get a lot of the COOs to only schedule 70% of their calendar and leave 30% of their calendar available as buffer time. And then just making sure that throughout the week they don't over drink, they don't overwork. The reality is you're never going to get it all done. So don't try to catch up. Don't work evenings and weekends trying to catch up because you never will get it all done. You're just going to have more goals and more projects anyway.
