1 Digital Detox

In a profession where you're constantly connected, stepping away from screens can be a refreshing change. Consider a digital detox: a period where you intentionally avoid electronic devices. This means no checking work emails, no scrolling through social media, and no tech-based hobbies. Instead, you might read a book, spend time in nature, or engage in face-to-face conversations with friends and family. The absence of digital interruptions can help lower stress levels and improve your mental clarity.

It is important to have a break from the work. We are not saving lives, our job is for sure important, but word will survive if we don't check email and phone for a couple of days. On holidays and even during weekend is better to switch off the phone and not turn on the computer we use to work. In case of emergency, the office will contact us on private numbers.

Burnout hit me like a DDoS attack during a critical system migration. Desperate for a fix, I stumbled upon an unconventional solution: ditching my devices cold turkey for a weekend. Skeptical at first, I soon found myself lost in dusty paperbacks and rediscovering the joy of analog photography. The mental fog lifted, replaced by unexpected clarity. Ironically, unplugging helped me crack a persistent routing puzzle that had been driving me nuts. Now, I treat digital detoxes like essential system maintenance. Whether it's kayaking or learning to cook, these tech-free interludes keep my mind nimble. I've learned that sometimes, the best way to solve a network problem is to step away from it entirely.

2 Physical Activity

Physical exercise is a proven stress reliever and mood booster. As a network engineer, you may spend a lot of time seated at a desk, so your time off is the perfect opportunity to get moving. Whether it's a gym session, a jog in the park, or a hike in the mountains, physical activity can help clear your mind and produce endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. Regular exercise can also improve sleep quality, which is essential for cognitive function and overall health.

If you are a network engineer, then working out is essential to break the sedentary nature of your job and improve problem-solving skills & creativity. This is something physical exercise helps you with as it increases the flow of blood to your brain: improving key cognitive functions such as those needed for troubleshooting complex network problems. As a result, by relieving stress through moderated regular physical activity, workers are less likely to burnout and can maintain high productivity levels in the long-run. In my perspective, try to keep 1-2 hours for yourselves, switching away from work, this will help you divert your attention you need the most

3 Creative Pursuits

Engaging in creative activities can be a wonderful way to de-stress and recharge. Creativity uses different parts of the brain than your day-to-day work, providing a mental break from technical thinking. You might take up painting, cooking, writing, or playing a musical instrument. These activities not only offer relaxation but also a sense of accomplishment and joy when you create something new. Plus, they can enhance problem-solving skills that are valuable in your professional life.

4 Social Connections

Strong social ties are key to emotional support and can significantly contribute to relaxation. Spend quality time with loved ones or connect with peers who share similar interests but are outside of your professional circle. Engaging in social activities, whether it's a casual dinner or a group sport, can provide a sense of belonging and help take your mind off work-related stress. Remember that socializing should be enjoyable, not another item on your to-do list.

5 Learn Something New

Taking up a new hobby or learning something outside of your professional expertise can be invigorating and mentally stimulating. Consider enrolling in a cooking class, learning a new language, or picking up a new sport. These activities not only provide a break from routine but also challenge your brain in new ways, which can enhance cognitive flexibility. Plus, the sense of progress and achievement from learning can be incredibly satisfying.

6 Mindfulness Practice

Mindfulness involves being present in the moment and can be an effective way to manage stress and anxiety. Techniques like meditation, deep-breathing exercises, or yoga can help you cultivate mindfulness. These practices encourage you to slow down and become more aware of your thoughts and surroundings, leading to a more peaceful state of mind. Even dedicating a few minutes each day to mindfulness can have profound benefits for your mental health.
