I got home this week and realised I was still thinking about a conversation from earlier. Not the task. The person. HR does not really switch off, it just gets quieter. What do you do to stop work following you home?

When I find myself falling into that pattern I try to get out of it by making a conscious effort to leave work behind. What I'll do is engage in something where I think about something other than work for a half hour or so. It could be reading, taking a walk, listening to music, whatever. If I can switch my thinking onto that, I'll transition back to being on my own time, and won't think about work much until the next morning.

I like this approach. I think the intention matters more than the activity. For me, if I do not consciously “close” the day, even a walk or music does not fully stop the thoughts.

I typically go work out after work to break up the time between work and being home. It helps me to kind of turn my brain off. If I find myself thinking about work after that, I try to divert my mind to something else.

Manager I use the gym too, and it helps, but not always. If something is unresolved, it follows me. I think I need to process it properly first, then I can actually switch off.
