Do some reading on managing intrusive thoughts, possibly look into CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and thought stopping. Just because a thought pops into your head, you’re not obligated to stay with it.

Activities that force you to focus help me - like weight lifting and rock climbing.

I got two phones. I turn my work phone off at 6pm on Friday and turn it on Sunday night to make sure I’m not ignoring any weekend asks. I also don’t calendar my weekends too much, which my friends hate but doesn’t leave me feeling guilty about running from event to event

This is good advice

I also have this and what helps is strict separation between work- and private-life. I have set up a rule for myself to stop working at 6Pm in the evening and if needed, I can continue after 9PM, but it is exceptional. Over the weekend I also don’t plan too much or if I do, then I definitely make it as remote from work as possible. Also, I don’t read my work emails over the weekend. It took a while but once I built this habit, it’s amazing how telaxed I can be.
Basically - set up rules and principles and make very little exceptions and only when absolutely needed (e.g. Go-Live)

Received a job offer today and unsure how to proceed. The role is lateral but with more opportunity to advance. The offer consists of a 17% base salary increase, a 25% annual bonus structure, and a signing bonus of 25% of my base. I feel that the offer is fair but the downside is fewer vacation days. I intend to negotiate the vacation time but as far as the compensation I am unsure if I should negotiate.. the offer is fair and I don't want to be greedy but I don't want to miss an opportunity
