Work-life balance is a challenge!
Once a long day at work is over, how do you switch off and wind down? Personally, taking my dog for a walk usually does the trick! 🐶

Just by putting my laptop away and meditating for a short while

@yael_yaari I feel you ^^
For me, it's putting the phone away and playing board games with my kids!

@shahdeepa Loved it! Sounds like a lot of fun! Is there a board game you particularly enjoy playing?

Closing my laptop lid and going out to play football with my friends. Clears my mind like nothing else. Any sport can really help you out. Highly recommended!

@almost_designer Agreed! Physical exercise has so many benefits.
It depends on my mood, but I like to do CrossFit two times per week, but every day I like to watch some series, it turns my brain off for a couple of hours. I just stated Game of Thrones, and I am totally turned off. :D

@anett_keresztes CrossFit is HARD! Kudos to you!
For the past few weeks, I have been turning off my computer and talking to my parents about how their day went, and making preparations for dinner.

@amarnath_nagula I think the sole act of closing the laptop's lid can go a long way.

Have always found it quite hard to switch off work. Even if there isn't a lot of work, mind is always racing with ideas. I have found Calm and Headspace actually useful to relax.
Beer with some friends is my favorite solution 🍻

I find playing chess helpful, because that active mind still gets something to process that is not work related.

@nikolacvetkovic Good for the brain and for the soul!
1) Cook dinner and feed myself
2) Self-care (even basic hygiene counts)
3) Hobby (pick up the guitar, ukulele, a book, some embroidery)
4) Cannabis ('nuff said)
5) Melatonin + a podcast as I drift off to sleep...
Reading, for sure! It's so relaxing to get comfy on the coach with a book, but it also takes you out of your mind to focus on someone else's story.
By putting things on autopilot before I wind down. Knowing that there is something to get my back while I unwind, really helps me unwind.
Whatsresponse is one such autopilot tool .
