I make sure I leave the work well documented for the one who follows, but I do not put in more effort and time than contractually obliged. I also push back on everything new, and give the reason above. This leaves me without stress, and since I'm leaving, they cannot really do shit about me declining new tasks. If questioned by someone, I ask whether they want to inherit two half-done projects when I'm gone or just one. That puts an end to requests. If at any time some manager's manager tries to strongman me around while on notice period, I delete their emails, block their IM and pretend I haven't seen what they sent me.
