Margin: Restoring Emotional, Physical, Financial, and Time Reserves to Overloaded Lives
One of my co-workers recommended this book when I was experiencing burnout. The message of this book helped me to see how crazy my life had become and helped me to take control again of my time. When you're finished reading it, you can follow it up with "The Overload Syndrome" by the same author (Richard Swenson).
The Overload Syndrome: Learning to Live Within Your Limits (Guidebook)
I read his book "Margin" first and I was convinced that I need to read "The Overload Syndrome" immediately after! God used the messages in those two books to get my health back in shape after experiencing burnout. I haven't experienced a burnout since that time. Check it out!
