This is something I struggle with, and there’s some good advice in here (though nothing particularly novel). I do want to call out one thing that probably doesnt work that’s in this article: The idea of scheduling your downtime. Or blocking off “leisure time” on your calendar This would be akin to an alcoholic putting “sober blocks” on their calendar. It doesn’t address the problem, it in fact acknowledges and accepts the problem as normal. For me the biggest problems have been: taking on too much too fast, and my phone. For the first, saying No has been the cure though still difficult sometimes. The second I think does not get the attention it deserves. Delete work email, delete work slack, delete work calendars from your phones. If you are literally carrying your work around with you in your pocket every waking hour there’s no chance you’re going to avoid it.
