Pomodoro technique + mandatory physical movement. I set a timer for 25 min work, then 5 min stretch/walk. No negotiation. My smart watch reminds me. Its transformed my productivity and reduced my back pain significently.

Create strict digital boundaries. I use apps that block work emails and slack after 6 PM. No exceptions. Its hard at first but u get used to it. Mental health is more important than any job, period.

Professional therapy specifically for remote workers. Not generic counseling, but therapists who understand the unique psychological challenges of digital work environments. Best investment in my mental health.
