You know you're suffering from burnout when the first thing you think of in the morning is work and the last thing you think of at night is work and neither brings you a sense of accomplishment or motivation. It's ironic that as a risk manager one of the things you're suppose to mitigate is risk yet not balancing your own stress is probably one of the highest risks. I have generally found that accepting you simply can't deal with everything and at times there is going to be collateral damage as a result of past decisions. Setting clear priorities and in so far as is possible sticking with those priorities with a clear focus on the highest priorities will result in the least risk and stress. If you find yourself constantly changing priorities; perhaps it's time to slow down and really establish what the priorities are. As soon as you know a low priority task is going to fail communicate it and move on; accept that it's going to fail due to higher priority tasks.
