Try to surprise your partner or child(ren) with a whole or a half day off to do something fun. Even a few hours can be enough!

What works well for me, is to plan things that give me energy on fixed evenings and also block this in my work agenda. For example exercising on Monday, walking on Tuesday. In this way you ensure that you get away from your PC and clear your mind.

Make sure you keep doing things that give you energy. Without passion in your life, results and your mental health will decline.

Use your hobbies and sport to clear your head. Working in your garden, walking, cycling or just lounging on the coach… Nothing on your mind. Dare to turn of your phone sometimes, so that your work-related communication is minimal.

Dare to say NO sometimes and ensure high productivity. In this way it will also be accepted when work gets too much.

Make agreements with yourself and stick to them. Screen time = also screen break. For me, my dog helps with this, lots of exercise and some fresh air and you’re reset again!

Do not install work email or Teams on your phone. If this is necessary, work with ‘silent hours’ to make sure that notifications are blocked. Outlook and Teams have these settings and can be easily set up. In that way you won’t get disturbed.
