Do you find it difficult to unplug?

Dan Silcox - Sep 2 '19 - - Dev Community

I have just come back from ten days in the lovely Mijas, Spain with family. It was amazing and really relaxing - great to get away from all the hustle and bustle of "normal" life for a bit.

However I did find that it took me a good few days to fully "unplug" from thinking about work, whether it was a coding problem at the back of my mind, worrying that I'd miss important team changes or even just miss out on the Slack banter! This also made me realise that it actually impacts my weekends sometimes, this struggle to unplug. I have always tried to live in a balanced way whereby I "work to live" rather than "live to work" (though of course both are important and I always give my best while at work).

Does anyone else have this issue? How do you minimise it and stop it from spoiling your down time?
