How do you relax your mind during rest time when work piles up?
I often feel like I can't rest in peace, because I always remember the work that has piled up😒

To relax my mind when work piles up, try deep breathing, taking short walks, disconnecting from work devices, or engaging in a hobby. Listening to music, stretching, or focusing on positive thoughts can also help my unwind and reduce stress.

Whenever my mind drifts to an urgent task, I immediately schedule a time in my head when I will solve it. This gives me the peace of mind that I need.
@alviani_nuragnia it depends. For me the most important thing is to get started and to get back a feeling of control. So for complex tasks I decide on the first most impactful action to get the ball rolling.
I can't relax when I have work piled up, I'd set timeline to achieve each task before relaxing.
Listening to music helps me. Also, I prioritize my tasks and divide it within my work hours to prevent myself from over burdening. :)
When work piles up, I try to compartmentalize my rest time. If an urgent task pops into my head, I quickly jot it down in my task app so I know I won't forget about it. Then I tell myself I've scheduled a time to handle it later, so for now I can relax. Meditation and exercise also help me disconnect and recharge. Curious what works for others!
