The most popular yet dangerous misconception is this: Rest is for the weak. Leave work at work and don’t bring it home.

🤝 Use the “mental filing cabinet” method.

Picture a large filing cabinet, then think about all the tasks for tomorrow and mentally place them into drawers. Visualize this each time you leave work. Don’t open this mental storage during your rest time – save it for the next workday.

🎉 Plan something enjoyable.

It could be anything – a hobby or activity you eagerly anticipate is a great way to shift into relaxation mode.

📴 Turn off messengers and email.

When you’re home, be present. Don’t lie in bed with your phone or respond to work emails during dinner. Emails are an endless to-do list that will keep you from unwinding. Keep smartphones and tablets at a distance to stay grounded in reality.
