A new article from sociologist Dr. Tracy Brower focuses on how to fight burnout, which can creep into our work routines — especially when working remotely — and leave us cynical, emotionally exhausted and ineffective. To fight these feelings, one surprising strategy is to expand our horizons, take on a new activity or learn a new skill. Learning expands our perspective, increases effectiveness, improves our reaction to challenges, reinforces our ability to adapt, and connects us to a new network of people and resources. So whether learning takes place in a formal or informal setting, be intentional to take advantage of the many opportunities available. And while learning for ourselves has many benefits, it’s even better when we can learn while helping others.
