I've realized I spend a lot of time outside of my job thinking about work and it's stopping me from accomplishing my goals/keeping my mental health in check.
my work starts and ends late, official hours are 10 am to 7 pm but I typically finish around 8 pm. This means that it's right in the middle of my day. Maybe if it was earlier I could wake up, work, and afterwards do some kind of activity/go out to get my mind off of it but how it is now I need to optimize my mornings. However, it can be hard not to think about work beforehand. And after I finish I'm normally stressed enough that I need time to sit and unwind with a video etc. and often even that can't make me feel better.
I work from home (currently) and live alone. I don't have friends I can meet up with during the week/talk to much besides a few texts. I'd like to feel better and work on things I enjoy like reading, studying, making videos, working out, etc. but I don't feel motivation to do my hobbies.
I don't hate my job but recently it's been going downhill because of some people. Seems like I'll have to start going in person in a couple of months which is causing me anxiety and also means I'll have even less free time after commuting/less freedom.
I'll also note that I had adhd which could affect me obsessively thinking about things.
What do you guys to get the most out of your free time/not ruminate on your job? (changing jobs isn't an option for the time being)
