Flexibility and proactivity : Plan your schedule with possible fatigue in mind, rather than hoping for uninterrupted energy. Stay flexible and don’t hesitate to deviate from the routine if necessary, while being proactive in managing your time and commitments.

Preventing burnout : Be aware of the trap of no breaks and lack of time outdoors. So plan breaks consciously, delegate burdensome tasks and avoid overloading your schedule.
