I totally get the struggle! My trick is setting a hard stop time, like 6 PM, and physically putting my laptop in a drawer 📦. Out of sight, out of mind! I also light a candle 🕯️ or play music 🎶 to signal “home time.” It’s not perfect, but it helps me shift gears. Try creating a small ritual to mark the end of your workday, even if it’s just shutting down your computer and going for a quick walk around the block. Oh, and avoid checking emails after hours—trust me, it’s a game-changer
Honestly, it’s all about discipline. I treat my living room desk like an actual office—no eating or Netflix there, just work. When I’m done, I cover my monitor with a cloth and call it a day. Sounds silly, but it works. Also, try time-blocking your day so you’re not tempted to keep working past your hours. If youare still struggling, maybe your workload’s too heavy? Might be worth talking to your boss about that
Ugh, been there. I started using a folding screen to hide my desk when I’m done for the day. It’s like, poof, work’s gone! Also, I set up a rule: no work stuff in the living room after 7pm. It’s not always easy, specially when deadlines loom, but it’s helped me feel less like I’m living in an office. Maybe try rearranging your space to make it feel less work-y at night? Even moving a lamp or something can help.
