There’s a difference between being done working and feeling done working. I’m bad at the second one. What helps you create a clean break? For me it’s stepping outside even for ten minutes.

Gym immediately after work, Monday-Friday. There's a whole psychological thing behind it. "Third space" or whatever it's called. Having that neutral ground to go to between leaving work and heading home helps me mentally shift from work to relaxation mode. The endorphin boost and physical exhaustion that comes with it is a nice plus too.

I go to Pilates after work to immediately decompress. It is so hard for me to just relax when I go stright home and I have a tendency to check work emails even when I am off. Pilates helps create that break for me so my brain knows we are done with work for the day.

For me it’s having something planned immediately after. Whether it’s working out or walking my dog. It’s a reason to stop and get my mind off of it.

I am fairly green in academia (< 1 year) and I want to shift to an area of research which I always wanted to do but never could as a Ph.D. student (because of conflict of interest).
The issue I am facing is that due to lack of my documented research experience in this field (read, lack of papers) I am finding it very hard to land any grant and reviewers keep saying "The PI hasn't demonstrated any experience in said research" blah blah.
Any advice on how to overcome this?

I feel like I'm doing everything right, but my research is not getting the attention it deserves.

How do I get people to pay attention?
