7 Tips to Prevent
IT'S TAX SEASON and you've got plenty to do. Burn out
could already be happening, but you've got a long way to
go before April 15. This time of year, you likely have higher
stress and are going to experience some fatigue. What can
you do to prevent hitting the wall? Consider these tips.
LOWER DISTRACTIONS
Having work interruptions is
never a welcome thing, but
interruptions during tax season can
be especially frustrating and a catalyst
to burnout. Of course, there is a higher
volume of client calls and emails this
time of year. It's best to delegate
activities that pull you from your
primary work or set aside a specific
block of time each day to handle those
distractions.
This way, distractions are limited
and they don't knock you off track
throughout the day. Turn your phone
off, don't open emails, and put a " Do
Not Disturb " sign on your door-whatever it takes to lower interruptions and
become more productive in the limited
hours you have to work.
HIRE HELP
Whether it's just you or your
entire staff that's feeling overworked right now, a key way to prevent
burnout is to hire more help. For some,
that just sounds like more stress-but
if you know exactly what you need and
have a good hiring process in place,
then now is the time to get that extra
assistance. You may not find full-time
support now that we're in the thick of
tax season, but you can supplement
your team with third-party outsourced
firms as well.
Longer hours and heavier workload
are normal during tax season, but hiring either full- or part-time help-even
temporary help, can reduce the impact
