years ago, when I worked as an adult lit tutor, my manager and friend, Christine, shared a technique she used to stay sane when the pressure started to seep into her homelife. She had a little box, and each evening she thought about the various things that day that were stressful, or incomplete, or badly done and hanging over her. And as she thought through each thing she mentally placed it in the box and then thought about the next one. Once she'd filled the box she didn't allow herself to think about those things. She left them at work in the box in her desk drawer for morning. Anytime after that if she realised her thoughts had turned towards work stuff, she banished those thoughts with the knowledge that they were in a box in her desk.
Worked for her.
