1. Praying Monday Night
Often, if the sermon goes well, I come home Sunday afternoon all excited to start working on next Sunday's sermon immediately. At this point I impose a Sabbath rest. I have made it my practice not to think about the next Sunday's sermon until at least Monday evening. This gives a good solid break. As a Sabbath rest from sermon writing, it reminds me that my sermons are a God thing, and that I depend on God. At least one evening, and a continuous stretch off from doing anything with a sermon, will provide a good rebound and Sabbath time.
