Tips to overcome work-related overthinking?

I’ve been more and more stressed out about work during weekends; I tend to think a lot about the things I couldn’t finish this week and how to tackle them in the upcoming week. I’ve been getting obsessed to the point I really don’t enjoy weekends and I can’t relax.

It would be unfair to blame external pressures, it is just me overthinking.

What are your strategies to avoid this?

A healthy “fuck it, i don’t care” attitude goes a long way for me at least.

That, or “I don’t get paid enough to care, fuck em”

:-)

Yeah, same. I used to care about my job, but after lots of changes it appears that my opinion isn't worth much any more, and whatever I do there's one particular person who constantly complains that they had to fix something I did (yet doesn't tell me at the time, I always find this out later during a rant/comment), or that I haven't done something which is apparently vitally important simply because he decrees it so, and if I try to improve things that's wrong too (despite that he seems to get away with "improving" things with no comeback and no fights - which has previously meant my responsibilities are no longer mine). Basically he's the bane of my working life at the moment and he isn't even management. So now I'm done with caring and just try to stick to stuff I do which either nobody else wants to do or nobody else knows much about, and if that doesn't fill up much of my day so be it. At least that's not going to be constantly questioned and it looks like I'm still valuable.
