Burnout can happen when you try to do everything at once. It is impossible to do it all, but you still try. Then you naturally come to the point where your body and mind fail. Your body will try to tell you it needs rest and yet you will persevere, ignoring your body. Eventually, you will push past your limits and your body will win the argument. This is why one of the most important ways you can avoid burnout is simple: know your limits. You cannot help others – the goal of most nonprofits – if you cannot help yourself.
