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?
This may sound cliche, but practicing meditation and mindfulness. The key is to be able to acknowledge and accept that you’re having a thought about something, but then divert your mind to the present if it is not a “now” problem.
I’d add reading (or listening) two books:
The Art Of Mindful Living by Thich Nhat Hanh
• Easy to digest, relaxing listen, to practice mindfulness.
Getting Things Done by David Allen
• Get all the things out of your head and into a trusted system.
