It’s that time of year again when the ‘To Do’ list at work is growing. The last two days I’ve left work and then just kept working. I know that’s the time of year, but I also know it can keep going and that there is always more to do.
I try to use exercise and meditation to help me turn off, and I’ve moved these activities from morning to evening, but I’m not sure I like this strategy?
What do people do to ‘turn off’ work? What strategies allow a separation between work and home? I don’t mind taking the extra time at the start of the year, but I’ve had about 3 years of imbalance that have left me feeling like I am not doing this well.
Writing helps, it’s my way of unpacking ideas. What else do people do?

I find other mentally stimulating activities that challenge me and help shift my focus. Board games are great for this. Some involve immersing oneself in another world, others require logic and puzzle solving, while others can just make you laugh. All in all, board, card, party games are a great escape and way to balance our mental wellness.
