[quote=Anonymous]During my divorce, I made it a habit never to speak to my ex or my divorce lawyer during work hours. I was in therapy and I scheduled therapy for after work, rather than during my lunch hour as I'd been doing before the divorce negotiations started. Sometimes that meant that I had to take the afternoon off to meet with the lawyer. I did my best to completely wall off my personal life from my professional life because if I did not, I would have spent several months crying in my office and getting nothing done. To focus on work, I made lists of to-dos for the day. Every day. I scheduled breaks for myself on my private calendar and set notifications to remind me to do stuff like "get a coffee with Sarah" or "take a walk around the block." Then between reminders, I did nothing but work. Didn't read the internet. Didn't read personal email. Just stuck to work.[/quote]
