Make a work plan in advance and focus on completing the work efficiently. Inform my work partners of the time when I may disappear, and inform them of the emergency contact method to prevent work emergencies from being dealt with in a timely manner.

In the winter, I feel good because it gets dark after work, I get cold and a little lethargic in the winter, so I spend mt personal time reading books or sleeping a lot rather rather hanging out with my friends outside.

Prioritizing, getting outside, creating a cozy routine and scheduling weekend relaxation help me balance work and life during shorter winter days.

I totally get that! During the winter, I make sure to set clear boundaries for work and personal time.

I recently realized that physically and mentally, doing something on one side and resting on the other feels like rest. On days when I'm not too tired, I actually feel like my brain is resting while doing the dishes, and lying down and studying work-related things on my phone also feels like a rest. I'm going to try using these two. I think the days are really shorter in winter.
