This is about YOUR energy, so it has to be something that works for you, personally.<\/p>\n<p>Making sure you don\u2019t get overdrawn, i.e., cranky, frustrated, exhausted, or resentful, by making regular deposits in your energy bank account can be a deterrent to career burnout. It\u2019s a simple self-care practice that has a ripple effect on everything you do.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is your work situation frustrating you?
