Rashi, on Exod 20:9

“Six days shalt thou labour, and shalt do all thy works.”

“ועשית כל מלאכתך [SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOUR] AND DO ALL THY WORK — When the Sabbath comes it should be in thy eyes as though all thy work were done (completed), so that thou shouldst not think at all about work (Mekhilta).”
