Human Factors
During climb out from Runway 28R I climbed through 10;000 feet and without thinking and forgetting that we are speed restricted at 250 kts until given normal speed in ZZZ I accelerated to 290 kts. A few minutes later ATC came on and gave us a vector of 20 degrees right for spacing after which we scanned the instruments and FO (First Officer) pointed out that he didn't think we were given normal speed and I promptly bugged 250 kts and slowed the aircraft back down. ATC never mentioned our speed. Later in the flight during our arrival into CAK I also passed through 10;000 feet and had forgotten to slow down until we were around 6;000 feet which I caught and proceeded to slow to 250 kts. Both times were due to my distraction from an earlier event in which I experienced a personnel issue with an FO that took a couple hours to resolve and I realized during the flight that I was mentally distracted and had FO fly the leg back and I performed pilot monitoring duties.
While on the arrival into CAK I noticed we were flying at 280 kts at 6;000 feet. I alerted the Captain who corrected the airspeed to 250 kts. We continued the arrival and landed at CAK. I need to be more vigilant with my cross checking responsibilities. After stating we were descending through 10;000 feet. I should have looked at the airspeed before chiming the Flight Attendant and starting the APU. From now on I will make sure that is the first thing I look at in my flow.
Air carrier flight crew reported experiencing speed deviation on departure and then during approach.  Captain stated distraction caused from a personal incident contributed to the event.
