How to Get Through a Long Day of Service Calls Without Burning Out

How do you get through a long day of service calls without burning out? Almost none of it is external. It's what's between your ears.

Start with your morning ritual. A routine can be interrupted or thrown off. A ritual has enough meaning that you do it no matter what.

That's the three Ds: duty, discipline, devotion. Duty is because you have to. Discipline is because it's a habit. Devotion is because it means something.

Then it's practical. How you fuel a day of hunger, dehydration, and physical effort. Why you work one call at a time instead of scanning the whole schedule. The five-minute reset between calls, not 30 minutes at the supply house. What you put in your ears during windshield time.

Last point: take comfort in a predictable process. Follow it on every call, and your last call is as good as your first.
