I’ve realized I don’t really “log off” when I close my laptop — my brain keeps going.
It takes something intentional to fully disconnect.
What helps you decompress after work? I usually need a good podcast to help me out

Nice! I never really got into them but sometimes I enjoy watching walk throughs on YouTube

I also find that doing something that engages my mind but isn't related to work does the trick. I've known people to call the technique a separation ritual, where you purposely think about something non-work to get yourself back on your own time. I'll read, take a walk, listen to music, cook something, just to disengage from work thoughts.

Yep 👍

If you have kids it’s a lot easier to stop thinking about work I find. Before kids i would either cook dinner, go out to meet with friends, grab a bite and sit at the lake eating it while listening to a good audio book, etc.

I like to go to the gym and listen to an audiobook. I’ve been doing that for a few months now and definitely see the change in being able to disconnect my brain in the evenings. I would be on a loop about work stuff until I went back to work.

Yes, working out is also great for that in my case

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies.

I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?
