The laptop is shut and dinner is over, yet the shoulders are still tense, the hand keeps reaching for the phone and unfinished office conversations run through the mind. Easing out of the day's rush and preparing body and mind for rest is called 'winding down', Ajker Patrika's features desk writes.
A day in front of screens, with constant notifications and online meetings, keeps the brain active for long stretches, the article says. Working from home makes it worse, because the commute that used to separate work from personal life disappears. Many treat long scrolling on the phone as rest, but the flood of new information only stimulates the brain further.
The advice is to build one small habit after work every day, such as changing clothes, a 10-minute walk, a shower or putting the laptop in a fixed place; doing it regularly matters more than what it is. Rather than plunging straight into chores or email, spend the first 15 to 20 minutes quietly, with a cup of tea, some time on the balcony or light music.
After sitting all day, a 10 to 15-minute walk or easy yoga helps shake off stiffness better than a hard workout. The article also suggests putting the phone away for a while, turning off work notifications and not going back to work email 'just to check'.
