Burnout is a very real issue thats only getting more and more common. The days of walking out of the office and leaving work behind are harder to come by.

The American Psychological Association surveyed adult U.S. workers and found that 79% felt work-related stress , 36% said their job caused cognitive weariness, 32% were emotionally exhausted and 44% were physically fatigued.

To combat this, people need time off and time spent not thinking about work. But how do you hit the off switch? We asked some experts for their advice on how to shift your brain to leisure mode if its hung up on your to-do list:

Say goodbye to the workday.

In order to fully transition from work to leisure mode, you need to leave your job tasks behind. Keegan LaMar , a performance and leadership coach and certified performance mindset coach for athletes, calls this shaking hands with the workday.

The act of turning off your work computer or logging off of your work application is like a handshake to say good doing business with you today, he said.

Close your laptop, power down your PC, shut off your work tablet anything you can do to say goodbye to your employer, employees and clients for the day. Challenge yourself to keep these devices powered down until your work begins again the following morning.

Find your wind-down song.

In the same way athletes use a pump-up song to walk onto the court or field to get themselves in the headspace of the game, use music as a signal of what energy you want to enter into, said Lia Garvey, an organizational consultant, author of Unstuck and TEDx Speaker.

She suggested finding a song that helps clear your head or brings you out of your work mindset and playing it in the car on your commute home, or at home before you log off the computer for the day.

Make it into a ritual where once you hear the song, youre done with work no hopping back on to check your email one last time, or you defeat the purpose, she explained, noting that her wind-down tune of choice is Blinding Lights by The Weeknd.

Dont want to listen to the same song every day? Hop on Spotify or Pandora and put on a playlist of a genre that makes you feel good, like 90s hip-hop or modern pop.

File it away.

Imagine a file cabinet in your mind. Think of all of the things you need to do at work tomorrow and place them mentally in the cabinet, said Karen Tom , a certified health and life coach.

Think of any issues at work and also place them in your mental cabinet. Imagine closing the drawer of the cabinet, recognizing that you will open it back up on your next day at work, she explained.
