It happens to the best of us. Burnout. Nothing can zap productivity more than feeling burnt out at your job. Here are 5 quick tips to help you beat burnout.

1. Reclaim your lunch hour. It may be tempting to gobble down lunch while you work, but it's important to spend a portion of your lunch hour out of the office. Getting away from your desk will help alleviate the feeling that you're tied to your desk.

2. Tame your sleeping habits. Getting less than six hours of sleep will make you feel groggy and irritable the following day. It also has serious repercussions on your productivity at work. Who wants to spend more time getting less done?

3. Make the most of your time off. There's nothing wrong with needing to focus on your job and putting in long hours from time to time. But it is important to maintain a balance among your job, your social life, your family and your hobbies. Make the most of your time away from work by doing what you love. Maintaining a healthy balance will give you more energy and make you more productive.

4. Avoid office politics. Workplace politics can be exhausting. It's best to steer clear of office politics as best you can and just focus on your own job and career goals. Minimize engaging in office gossip and you'll discover that office politics will fade into the background.

5. Better manage your time. Sometimes we feel burned out by our jobs because we feel as though we always have too much to do, and not enough time to do it. Polishing up task management skills can make a dramatic positive impact and reduce feelings of being overwhelmed.
