I have a really hard time separating work and life since I've started my own brand. Any tips on turning off your work brain so you can really enjoy everything else?

My own personal advice that works for me, have a strict event that separates the 2. A walk with your SO or dog, the gym, cooking, physically closing your computer, etc

Something you'll do every day and that mentally grounds you into "work is done for the day"

Of course things still come and you may need to be on later, but again once it's done, shut it down.

Confused!
So I am working as a UI UX designer since Jan22. I started with a really good project (everything from the scratch) with research, knowing the user etc. The project went really well. It was my first project that I handled individually. I got another project it also went well. Then I was told to work directly with a client, it's been 2 months already we work late hours and also on weekend (asked by the client). It feels like my personal life is gone. Do you think I should change job?
