I do a complete disconnection. I make sure to switch off my phone, I don't check my email, chat on WhatsApp, I just sleep and watch some skits on my phone. Sometimes I go for a walk without any destination whatsoever, I just walk to clear my head. You need to understand that burnout can creep in unannounced. It could come slowly until you crash.
I have a list of activities that I enjoy doing. So whenever I feel burnout I engage in these activities. They are going for a run, playing table tennis, going solo out to enjoy myself etc.
I’m terrible for not switching off properly 🙈 I work in teaching, so there’s always something else I could be doing or thinking about! 😂 For me, getting out for a walk with the dog really helps clear my head. Then it’s usually a hot shower, comfy clothes, something good on TV and trying very hard to ignore anything work-related for the rest of the evening 😂 I definitely think learning to actually leave work at work is half the battle though!
It's not that hard to do. I simply pause everything I'm working on and go for a break. I can listen to music to help me unload the work stress.
