How do you detach from work?

I find that myself and a lot of friends working in sales have a really hard time detaching from work outside of our already long working hours. It feels like evey waking moment thoughts about deals, pipeline etc keep popping up in my head and I can never really properly enjoy time off.


How are you dealing with this?

Honestly, pretty simple, but I have found going for a walk with no music really helps. I go for a 20 minute walk around my neighborhood with no headphones and really just focus on taking deep breaths. I try to do that when I sign off for the day.

Another tip I got once, was just keep a notebook on my desk, and if I get racing thoughts regarding a cycle or anything I am working on, I just write it down to work on the following day. Helps me not dwell on it.

Varsity move. Writing down the thoughts as opposed letting them circle in the brain is a great tip. It works great when I do it, but I guess I just love the misery and anxiety of overthinking

my wife, my dog and THC. Sprinkle in some iron pumping and loud music- if you are into it.

Get up and get your heart pumping for about 15 minutes. This will help you reset.
