I think it’s a cliche at this point, but what has really been helpful for me is setting boundaries. I used to do some work 7 days a week, trying to do less on the weekends. But because I didn’t have strict guidelines, I would have anxiety that I should be doing work humming in the background all weekend. When I switched to the model of doing absolutely no work on the Saturday (even if I didn’t have anything better to do), it allowed me to completely separate work from recovery, and made both more enjoyable.
