I'm a relatively new SDR with a software company and I know how important it is to separate work and personal life for a healthy balance. My manager and team especially stress how important it is to unplug and they essentially demand we don't work weekends, so it's not due to excessive demands from work. But I can't seem to shut off thoughts about work or what I need to do, how I can improve, or what I did wrong that I need to fix the next day/next week. it's really affecting my stress and anxiety during times where I should be experiencing the exact opposite and focusing on destressing. Part of it may be because I'm not performing as well as I'd like (I've been just short of quota the past couple months). Obviously I know that you can't 100% shut work out and there's sometimes responsibilities outside of regular hours, but that really hasn't been the case and it's mainly just in my own head. Would love to hear everybody's thoughts/advice!
How do you get yourself to “turn off” work thoughts during weekends and after hours?
