By diving in. I find if I try to relax I just stew on work. If I jump into making dinner or playing with my kid then I can push work out of the way quickly. It’s hard to do because my brain tells me I want space and to relax. It just doesn’t actually help me at all. The more I’m in my head, the sillier to try to get. Hard to stay stressed when you are pretending to slay dragons with a bucket on your head. 😁

I find Fridays to be the hardest… something about not having the next day to move things forward I guess. I always workout from 3:30-5pm to get over that hump.

Most people in this profession regardless extrovert of introvert are drivers. Dive into whatever is in front of you 100 % with all your energy.

That can be the gym, making dinner, doting on kids, putting your significant other in a. Pedestal, a TV show, creating tik toks doesn’t matter.
