Is your office draining all of your energy? Are you exhausted more from workplace chaos than your actual work? Are you ready to block your energy vampires and improve your focus and productivity? You could be experiencing office or entrepreneur fatigue. You may have initially been excited to join or start your company with your new colleagues, but now you just feel continuously drained. Maybe now you can’t wait until your workday is over? Could your energy drain potentially be due to how you interact with your coworkers, or how they interact with you? In this article, we will discuss a few ways to help you improve your concentration and boost your office energy.

Think About What Changed

Have you reflected on why you feel your coworkers may be draining your energy? When you first started your individual business or office job, did you spend your personal time bonding with your colleagues or co space peers but have become so busy recently that you no longer feel like you fit-in? Or, do you not feel appreciated when you are always stepping up and overdelivering?

The Unwanted Work Distraction Game

Do you have that coworker who is always the drama king or queen, and you are exhausted by how emotional they may be? Perhaps, you are concerned about your coworkers gossiping and not focused on the pressing professional priorities? Do you have a coworker who is the constant talker and does not allow you to focus on your work because they are so distracting? What about the blamer and belittler you work closely with who never accepts their flaws and errors and always blames you? Or, the envious coworker who consistently fails to engage you on key opportunities. This person may fail to share critical information with you that would contribute to success on your projects? Do you have specific team members whom you feel you are always spending more time cleaning up after and revising their work?

Talk It Out With Tools

Have you tried mindfully discussing how you feel with your coworkers? Have you scheduled a team meeting or even a retreat so that you all can review what has been going well, what needs to be revised, and discussing strategies so that you can all work together more effectively towards accomplishing your goals? Would a virtual or in-person team bonding retreat be beneficial? This might be a great opportunity to talk through goals with the team or to explain any changes you need to make independently in order to get your work done in a meaningful way moving forward.

The Difficult Contractor ROI

Are you feeling an energy drain from hiring team members to support with contract aspects of your project but now you’re realizing they aren’t as strong as you would have hoped regardless of the amount of energy you provide. Naturally, you may consider your return on investment from your contractor team member. Are you wondering about letting them go? TIP: As difficult as it may be, try to process your personal feelings and attitude about your contract based team member. ASK YOURSELF: Does my attitude or feelings distract me from what may be best for me professionally regarding this contract team member. If so, it may be time to part ways with your contractor, nothing personal. You can still stay in touch with the colleague personally (if you feel like it) but perhaps working together professionally may not be ideal.

Coping Through it All- Take Care of Yourself at Work

Do you feel increasingly frustrated during certain parts of the day? ASK YOURSELF: Does this agitation distract my productivity? What’s getting in my way? Take a break to clear your head if you can. Consider meditating or going for a walk to reset. Sometimes, a break may be exactly what you need to refresh and think with a clearer perspective. You could also remember the cool and helpful aspects of working with your team members. Try to remember your why for the work you are doing.

I have 5 tips to help you handle being short staffed at work. As a Holistic Mental Health Therapist, I realize a majority of my clients have felt or currently feel like they work in a setting that is stressful and understaffed. Some of my clients have the experience of being a “Jill of many trades” self-employed entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs often need to get more jobs done to maintain their business development and company growth. Being short staffed does not happen for long in either style of work but being understaffed can really take it’s energetic toll after a short while. Being in a short-staffed environment can cause burn out over time. Use the 5 tips below to cope with being understaffed as an employee, manager, supervisor, and as an entrepreneur.

If You’re Feeling Understaffed, Remember

Being understaffed is likely temporary:

This is a temporary destination. Remind yourself that this is something that can and will improve over time. Remember that being overstaffed may be uncomfortable and challenging but will not be indefinite.

Focus on your priorities:

There is only so much energy to go around. Now is the time to have a very clear idea of where you need to focus your work efforts because some parts of your work may have to be placed on hold or dropped completely to realistically move forward. Hone in on your priorities and collaborate with anyone at work or in your life who may be able to support you and your essential goals.

Get into a solid self-care daily routine:

It’s really important to have a routine self-care practice when there’s more work to get done and not enough people to do the work. With daily self-care, your approach to work will be in better health. You will do the work better from a place of rest instead of feeling charged from chaos and overwhelm.

Avoid all of the negative energy sucks:

Yes, my friend, this can include people, comforting junk food, and draining conversations with stressful co-workers, employees, and co-space peers. Be strategic about how you interact with the people who feel energetically draining. Also avoid draining solo activities including gossiping, listening to gossip, talking about co-workers, talking about co-space peers, social media scrolling for extended amounts of time. If you must use social media, try to limit the amount of time spent scrolling to no more than 5 minutes a day. Instead; go outside, go get fresh air, drink water. You can go for a walk indoors or outdoors. Or Meditate for 1 minute! I have a free Quiet Room Meditation in case you want to start right now!

Remember To Practice Gratitude to Reframe:

On one hand, being understaffed is hard and not what you would choose for yourself. On the other hand, you are learning new skills and helping to business move forward. You are also (hopefully) getting support for life sustainment from your income. Money by no means equates to happiness, but money can be helpful to remember your efforts at work are helping you to have some of the things you do appreciate. Things like shelter, reliable access to transportation, access to nourishing food, clothing, or running water, and electricity. And finally, it’s possible and an opportunity to remember you are in charge of the decision to not go to work or to go work every day. Be the consequences good or bad, you ultimately are making the decision or non-decision. The choice is yours to choose.
