Tips to overcome work-related overthinking?
I’ve been more and more stressed out about work during weekends; I tend to think a lot about the things I couldn’t finish this week and how to tackle them in the upcoming week. I’ve been getting obsessed to the point I really don’t enjoy weekends and I can’t relax.
It would be unfair to blame external pressures, it is just me overthinking.
What are your strategies to avoid this?
Distract yourself with hobbies and exercise.
Volunteering twice a week did wonders for me.
My problem was that I didn’t have enough other (pleasant) things to think about in my day-to-day so my brain would just default to thinking about work projects.
I will obsess some 30% of my time about something. I can’t change that, but I can make it be about something I like.
