Tips to overcome work-related overthinking?

I’ve been more and more stressed out about work during weekends; I tend to think a lot about the things I couldn’t finish this week and how to tackle them in the upcoming week. I’ve been getting obsessed to the point I really don’t enjoy weekends and I can’t relax.

It would be unfair to blame external pressures, it is just me overthinking.

What are your strategies to avoid this?

A couple of hours before the end of the work day and especially on Friday, set a goal for what you intend to accomplish for the day and set the deadline to 30 minutes before you log off. If you meet the deadline, you have 30 minutes to decompress and clear your mind of work before you log off. If not, then you have an extra 30 minutes to finish what you are doing. Keep an eye on the time and do not commit to starting something you know won't be done by the time you log off, because then it stays in your mind over the weekend.
