I constantly think about work. It doesn’t matter if I am at the office or spending the holidays with my family. How do you guys “turn it off” when you are on PTO?

I still struggle with it. Some things though is trying to be mindful in the moment with whatever I am doing. If you have a lot of downtime and find yourself thinking about work, I try to distract myself with a hobby or just making a conscious effort that I’ve thought enough about work, time for something else now.

I also struggle with this as well. Just breathe, and find something you cherish.
