A proposito di questo titolo
In episode 114, we sit down with Dr. Verena Haun, Professor of Work and Organizational Psychology at the University of Würzburg, to explore a question many of us feel every Friday afternoon: Why is it sometimes easy to switch off from work—and other times almost impossible?
Drawing on a multi‑week study of more than 150 employees, Dr. Haun’s research uncovers three distinct patterns of psychological detachment across weekends:
* High and increasing detachment, where people start off disengaged and unwind even more.
* Moderate but improving detachment, where people slowly let go of work and ultimately feel most energized by Monday.
* Consistently low detachment, where work lingers mentally all weekend long.
We discuss why some people struggle to mentally switch off, how unfinished tasks and unresolved problems make detachment more difficult, and why problem‑solving conversations on Friday nights—not supplemental work—predict healthier recovery patterns.
