Something you can take from Judaism is the concept of Shabbat where you can take 1 day a week to devote to family, study (that isn't related to your job), personal things, host a dinner with some friend (COVID permitting, of course). Clearly you don't have to be religious to do this, but you can take a dogmatic approach (e.g. your Shabbat starts at a certain time and is not reschedulable, Slack and work email are off during this period, etc.). It seems to be a time honoured approach to maintaining some balance in life.
