1) Weekly “non-negotiables”
Book your breaks, lunch, and a finish time. Guard them like they’re meeting invites from the CEO (because they are).

Strong foundations + good coping tools
You’re likely managing workload and stress fairly well. The risk zone for high performers is usually over-commitment — being the reliable one until the battery quietly dies.
- Keep your recovery routines (sleep, movement, downtime).
- Protect boundaries (calendar blocks, focus time).
- Share load early, not late.
Five ways to stay steady
2) Workload hygiene
Once a week: list tasks → mark “must do / should do / can wait”. Protect the “can wait”.
3) Micro-recovery
Every 90 minutes: stand up, stretch, 5 deep breaths, water. Small resets prevent big crashes.
4) Connection
One positive interaction daily (chat, thank-you, quick check-in). Belonging is fuel.
5) Keep learning fun
Pick one growth goal that feels energising (not punishing). Progress should feel like momentum, not misery.
Optional: support others (without becoming the office therapist)
- Model boundaries: take breaks, say no, use annual leave.
- Check in: “How’s your load this week?” then signpost to support.
- If you’re a manager: make it safe to say “I’m struggling” early.
WEMWBS is a wellbeing measure, not a diagnosis. If you’re worried about your mental health, contact your GP, NHS 111, or your workplace support options.
