Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Every day I face the same little choice of whether to keep working, and work always wins
• Even on my day off I’m glued to the feeds and refreshing email, half-bracing for the next ping the whole time, so my mind never actually powers down and I end the "rest" day just as wired as I started it.
• I leave work but work never leaves me
• I try to drop into rest with a pile of half-finished things nagging at the back of my mind, so I spend the whole "day off" anxiously circling the stuff I left undone instead of ever actually putting work down.
• I keep quietly blocking off my focus time and saying nothing, and then seething every time a colleague books right over it

Practices that may help

1. Protect one full day each week
   Set aside a recurring 24-hour block where work simply does not happen.

2. Disconnect from screens and inputs
   Step away from email, feeds, and notifications for the day.
   Sabbath: A Weekly Day of Rest
3. Sabbath: A Weekly Day of Rest
   A Sabbath is a recurring, protected day each week set aside for rest, disconnection, and renewal — a deliberate rhythm of work and recovery rather than constant low-grade availability. The ancient practice is supported today by mechanistic and observational evidence on recovery, detachment from work, and rest; the once-a-week structure itself is a tradition, not a trialed dose.
4. Use a 15-minute end-of-day planning buffer to close the day’s loops
   Before leaving work, take 15 minutes to list tomorrow’s priorities and explicitly close today’s open loops.
