All these are great suggestions at managing time. I’ll talk more about the stress aspect. I used to have many sleepless nights.
-
When you leave work, try to turn the switch off. If you need to check email at night. Do it the same time each night.
-
Try to get in a workout right after work. Yoga or a punching bag in my garage worked the best for me. Running, body weight exercises, and just long walks work wonders when you’re tight for time. I didn’t get group classes until I tried them and they’re great for the social and physical aspects.
-
Look up some meditation techniques and how to let intrusive thoughts “pass-through.” This is key for when you’re laying in bed restless. Just remember at this point of the day, there’s nothing more you can do.
-
Avoid drinking/weed during the week or Sunday. You think it helps you calm down but it doesn’t. You’ll be much more energized and clear headed from a good night sleep.
-
Overall, don’t be so hard on yourself. It sounds like you’re in the early stages of your career. Keep that learning spirit that brought you here and you’ll be cruising along crushing it.
