When I worked, I always struggled with time for myself. I raised 4 fine men and juggling all my responsibilities wad overwhelming. I wish I had this back then.

Spend time with your friends,family and nature,read books and complete your work on time so you don’t think about work all the time

Identify what exactly is trigging you to think about work, are you stressed?, is there someone bothering you?, are you not able to complete your work?. Then try to deal with it. Write your thoughts down, watch or do something you enjoy and you should always speak to someone about how you feel

I’d say make time for yourself like have a self-care day spend time with your family and friends or just by yourself that way you can distract you from whatever you’re thinking about sometimes when I get mad I feel I need to distract myself so my best advice is to just take care of you first before work take care of your family first before work and if your boss gets mad at you just say I needed this and I hope you understand .

I go to school everyday, I do homework 📄 every single day. I also go in guitar 🎸 class, ice skating ⛸ class, dance class and 2 Chinese classes.

Work is pretty stressful but I have life to live and some things that I love to do help me to relax and forget about work tasks and problems. Also pomodoro timer helps with it

Think about your values. What really matters to you? If your family is most important practice thinking about them. If there is a probl3m at work think about solutions while you are at work. When you leave work have a leaving moment so you end the day and leave work at work.

give your time a rest. have a me time sometime to refresh yourself from the stresses and everything. you can do meditation to, to be more mindful and aware so that you start to not just think about work all the time!

I just don’t take too much tension about work.I make a specific deadline for each work I have.It’s better to do it now than later.But sometimes I procastinate.That I have get rid off.

you have to cut back on hours and everything to make sure there’s always time for you. don’t cut sleep or meals out of your day to make you time. those meals and sleep are still you time. and it counts/makes a difference. but schedule extra me time. things you need to get done can get done and with extra time you can do something you love
