✅ Turn off work notifications when you’re off the clock.
✅ Prioritize your workload: focus on the most important tasks first.
🧘♂️ 3️⃣ Make Time for Self-Care
✔️ Take breaks throughout the day — even a 5-minute walk can help.
✔️ Get enough sleep, eat nourishing foods, and stay active.
✔️ Find activities outside of work that bring you joy and fulfillment.
🧘♂️ 4️⃣ Ask for Help
If you’re feeling consistently overwhelmed, reach out to a manager or HR about adjusting your workload. Or talk to a trusted friend or mental health professional.
