Thank you for the detailed answer, appreciate it :) I am a junior developer and working at a fast-growing startup but I think my work-life balance is not good right now. Not that my company asks me to work at weekends but I just can not get work out of my mind. Do you have some tricks to empty your mind?
Previously at Uber, Skyscanner, Skype/Microsoft. I love to help people grow and share what I learned. I write longer articles on software engineering at blog.pragmaticengineer.com.
Ah, this brings back memories: I also had this at Skyscanner for many months, when starting on a new and exciting product. Meditating/mindfullnmess daily helped me ease it a lot, I listened to this mindfullness compilation, though there are a lot. Also, making sure I did something active (workout, walking etc) even when I was busy, helped me do better.
Minfullness was this weird thing, where everyone told me, it will feel silly for a few weeks and you won't feel anything, but it will slowly start to kick in. It helped, and it also helped put things in perspective for me.

Again, thanks for the answer :) It really helped. I will check mindfulness thingy out.
