I used to constantly be stressed out that I'd be fired. I was always a good worker, but that anxiety is brutal. Every small mistake I'd make I'd worry for days after that the hammer would fall any second.
One day I was so anxious that I made myself vomit. That was the day I had a pep talk to myself.
Chances are, you're a hirable person. If, for some reason, you lose your job, chances are you'll find a new one, even if it's an interim job that you need to hold you over until something better comes along.
You need to think long and hard about the worst things that could happen if you don't think about work until Monday. What's rhe worst thing that could happen if you waited until Mondat to start thinking about how to tackle what you didn't finish last week? How much time would that take out of your Monday? How far back would that push your tasks?
Most likely, it won't push you back very much in terms of time. Or, maybe it pushes you back an hour. Is that extra hour worth replacing 48 hours of constant worry and anxiety? Probably.
You have to think about the fundamental base of what's causing you to stress about this over the weekend. What are you worried will happen if you don't think about it? Once you understand that, you can start reasoning with yourself as to why you don't have to worry about that particular thing.
