It's a mental stance you have to take. Turn off your devices at a certain time. Stay organized so your brain can shut down or at least check out for a bit. For those ramdon thoughts and to do's that are always there, write them down, prioritize and tackle them the next day. M&A is wild. Some weeks it's 70 to 80 hours and others are managable. Your sleep, exercise and overall health will suffer if you don't set boundaries for yourself early. Not to mention relationships.

I work from home so it’s actually really tough to separate the two.

Only taking extended PTO (~2 weeks) every once in a while decompresses me.

Well what is it that you do for work ? And what does your day look like?


Just guessing a change in eating some mindfulness and also sound Tibetan bowls music from YouTube might make what you mentioned a lot of improvement 😊
