These features can really reduce the chances of burnout by ensuring you allocate the optimum amount of time to each function without overworking. For example, you may notice that you have spent three hours on research for a blog post, indicated by the “Web Browsing” category. In that case, you’ll want to either take a break or turn your attention to a different task to avoid overworking and burnout.
Manage to-do lists more effectively
Using to-do lists can be an effective way to manage your time as a freelancer, but when you’re juggling too many to-do lists, this can become another chore that only adds to your list of things to do. This is when BeFocused can be an ideal solution. This app is a timer that appears at the top of the Mac screen, which you can use by setting the timer and giving the task a title.
One key benefit of the BeFocused app is that you can add multiple tasks and manage them all from the app (instead of creating multiple lists and managing them manually). When you complete a task in BeFocused and check it off, it’ll appear in the “Done” tab.
The app is designed to keep you focused until time is up, so you’ll always know when to move on to a new task in a timely way. It means you will not overwork or exceed the optimum amount of time for each task. So, with a more efficient to-do list, you can transition smoothly between tasks without facing burnout or the added stress of managing your time ineffectively.
Automate file organization
File organization can eat into your time and affect your time management success. These issues can lead to freelancer burnout because managing files is an additional task that detracts from other high-priority projects, and multitasking like this can feel overwhelming at times. But one tip that can help is to automate file organization with a key app. Spotless handles this process automatically.
