This was the hardest one for me and caused me a burnout a couple times, especially when working remote from home.

Separate your work and personal life. This was a major change for me. I’ve always identified very closely with my work. I’m learning to separate my sense of self-worth and purpose from my professional self.

How did you manage to separate it? I've been remote 2 years now, and I'm just now starting to become aware of how big of a problem this is.
Filled my calendar with things like gym and family time outside of working hours. Set my calendar to reject double booked meetings / events automatically was the first step

After that it depends on the reactions you get from that.
