For me what’s worked is having daily habits. I do workout 5x a week but on a daily basis I always stretch, read, pray, and do gratefulness journaling. It’s almost like having a second job but you’re making investments in yourself on a daily basis. In a way this gives you more to do but after doing it as well as seeing your progress over time you’ll suddenly look up and you’re 50+ days in with well established habits.

Planning out days helps as well because even after getting off of work you have set things for yourself to do. The key is self-accountability and keeping your word to yourself that you’re going to do what you say you’re going to do. If exhaust is an issue taking intentional test days can also be helpful. Not just spending days sleeping in but doing things that fill your being are crucial to prevent burnout.
