A great technique is "Avoidance" or "time not allocated". Find something that you once enjoyed, but you dont do anymore. For me it was playing the guitar back in the 1970's, 80's ans early 90's. I really should of stuck with it. But anyway, i'm more of a collector rather than a player nowadays. Even tonight while doing some typing for school, i stopped and sat on the porch and played for a about 30 minutes. It clears my head and the routine. Then i can refocus on life. So think of something that you use to enjoy and re-embrace it.
