This week on The CPA MOMS Podcast we discuss what causes us to constantly feel emotionally focused on work and easier ways to disconnect at the end of the day.
Here are the highlights from this episode:
- Because of the pressure accountant moms can often feel to be high performers in our careers, it can be challenging to not check our work email while we're making dinner or to glance at our phone and be tempted to answer a Slack message while we're watching TV with our family.
- There have been many studies done on Psychological Detachment From Work and the research has shown that employees who experience more detachment from work during off-hours are more satisfied with their lives and experience few symptoms of stress, without being less engaged while at work.
- If you think about how much we rely on our brains for the complicated, analytical work we do as accountants, we especially need our brains to "dry out" before asking it to soak up and process more and more information.
