Also try to disconnect from work when your work hours end. Set boundaries with your teammates and clients, that also mean blocking time on your calendar so they cannot book meetings with you. Make other people use the calendars and make sure you keep it up to date and encourage them to also use theirs and to disconnect from work when possible.
Remove work email/chat programs from your phone if possible. Switch off notifications for all apps except a handful of apps. Mute all group chats if you are on WhatsApp/similar. If you use slack, you can set you active hours so it won't send notifications.
Remember to schedule leave, try to take at least one day off a month to do nothing (I recommend spending time in nature if possible). Travel to a different part of your city/province if you can, a change in scenery is good.
Basically, you need to curate exactly what your time and attention span gets spent on every day. You only have so many "attention points" to spend, so make sure you spend them on stuff that matters to you. Automate the things that you cannot escape (getting a dishwasher is worth it washing dishes agitates you or you spend 2+ hours a week on it). Calculate how much you are worth per hour in money terms, when deciding to buy something or paying for some service (like getting a cleaning crew to clean your place instead of doing it yourself).
