Because your supervisor โneedsโ you to - doesn't it sound familiar?
Be proactive in openly discussing overtime expectations
Prioritise project timelines and realistic deadlines.
Saying a hard no is definitely not ideal especially it somehow co-relates to efficiency and productivity level.
Hence, being clear and selective about your commitment is utmost crucial so that you can be your best to each promise.

Health is non-negotiable. Without health, not only wealth depletes, a possibility of being a liability to your loved ones is very high as well.
Physical activities before or after work can keep you healthy and improve in mood. It also allow you to indulge in some personal time for self reflection and personal growth.
Take this dedicated time to unwind yourself and reflect on your day. Let it melt your stress away and get you ready for a new day.

The result of setting clear priorities is good time management.
Work hard, play harder.
When at work, give 100% of everything you have. Once off work, dedicate your precious time wisely to rest time, to ageing loved ones, and other matters close to your heart. When time slips away, these moments will not come back again.
Plan well for the next day during quieter moments before bedtime. Writing down may help to get it out of your mind during sleep, and you'll have a ready-to-go plan for the following day!

Get yourself entirely shut down without the constant nagging of unfinished stuff at work - aka be away from your phone for a bit.
Plan a dedicated/ routine time for your hobby, stay focused and have presence of mind while doing your hobby. Lastly, be proud of your achievements from your hobby(ies)!
