Advice from a renowned writer and Nobel laureate in literature will help you calm down your work ardor and stop in time.
Once Ernest Hemingway shared the main secret that helps him in his work:
Ernest Hemingway
Always stop when the process is easy. Don't think or worry about work until you return to it the next day. Your subconscious mind will work all this time. But if you deliberately think about the case, you will ruin it. And your brain gets tired even before you start working.
Why stop?
You have to get the job done because you have a deadline. You work, you work, you work … You fall asleep and wake up with the same thought. You go headlong into work, and it backfires. You take everything to heart. You merge with work. By taking it home, you allow it to invade your privacy. Tie yourself hand and foot.
Stop when the process is easy
This is what Hemingway advised to do, and he himself followed this rule.
Do you often catch yourself thinking that you could work for another hour, complete a few more tasks? Stop. Do not do that. Put all these things off for tomorrow. Do not recycle. Plus, you will have something to do tomorrow.
How do you stop thinking about work?
When Hemingway was asked how he managed not to worry about the case, he replied:
Just don't think about it. Stop thoughts of work. Learn to shift your attention to something else.
In fact, there is nothing unusual or magical about his advice. You just need to learn not to think when you don't need it. Get distracted by something. Meditation, reading, running - you choose the method yourself. There is no point in puzzling over something? Well, don't waste your energy on it.
Listen to your inner voice and be able to stop in time.
