At Fusion Cowork we believe that life is much more than work! Of course, we love our community and our space, but we know that in order to be truly productive, we need to know how to switch off. And no, we’re not talking about endless dumbscroll sessions on social media or series marathons.  

We’ve gone beyond the obvious, so today we bring you 10 non-clichéd tips for switching off and relaxing after a long day at work. 👇 

📞 Call someone special 

There’s nothing better than a good chat with someone you care about. Call your grandmother or that friend you haven’t seen in ages. Enjoy a good chat, laugh and let off steam.  

👨‍🍳 Try a new recipe 

Put yourself to the test in the kitchen and try a new recipe! Whether it’s a more sophisticated dish or a different dessert, cooking can be an excellent way to relax, with a reward at the end. 

🚗 Take a drive 

Get in your car, choose a playlist of songs you love and hit the road. A car journey with no destination can be liberating. Even better? Singing along to your favourite songs! 

👀 Don’t do anything 

Yes, you read that right. Sit somewhere comfortable and just do nothing. Allow yourself. Look as far away as possible and let your mind wander.  

☀️ Get some sun 

Go outside and just let the sun hit your face. Even if it’s just for a few minutes, vitamin D is an instant energy and mood boost.  

🕺 Dance like nobody’s watching 

Put on your favourite music and dance around the house. Forget technique, the most important thing is to move your body and have fun. It’s a great way to release accumulated stress. 

🚶 Take a walk in silence 

Leave the house for a walk, but this time without music, podcasts or mobile phones. Just you and your thoughts. Take the opportunity to appreciate the world around you.  

🎲 Organise a games night 

Get your friends together for an evening of board games or do a puzzle on your own. These kinds of games are great for distracting the mind! 

✍️ Write down everything that’s on your mind 

Take a notebook and just write, without thinking too much. It doesn’t have to make sense. This will help you release some accumulated thoughts and feelings.  

😱 Scream 

Sometimes all you need to do is just scream. Grab a cushion or go somewhere isolated and scream! Screaming is an excellent way to release tension and feel lighter. 

As you can see, there are plenty of ways to relax and switch off after a day’s work that don’t involve technology that only makes you more anxious. After all, good post-work relaxation is the key to a more productive next working day. 💪
