1. Detach yourself from work, which is especially difficult if you work from home. If you can, create a dedicated workspace in the house. When it’s time to clock off for the day, shut everything down and prioritize family time, self-care, or anything that does not involve work.

1. Make time for friends and family, even if it’s just a quick call or text. They will appreciate your efforts and you will also be happy.

1. Schedule in some “me” time every day, even if it’s just 15 minutes. Use this time to read, take a bath, or do something that makes you happy. The benefit of taking time for yourself is learning to relax.

• Some other benefits include improved mental health, increased productivity, reduced stress, and stronger physical health.

• When you take time for yourself, you can recharge and rejuvenate. It can lead to stronger mental health and increased productivity when you return to work.

• In addition, taking time for yourself can improve relationships with friends and family, as you can focus more on them instead of work.

• So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by work, take a step back and assess your priorities. Make sure you’re taking time for yourself and those you love. Your health and happiness should always be a top priority. Work can wait.
