[quote=Anonymous]Yes. It's hard. Beyond the emotional work you have to do, here are some practical tips that helped me.

- I remove my work email from my phone on weekends, and I take it off my home screen every evening. I still can get into it in the evening, but on weekends I full on delete it.

- If you have a laptop, stop taking it home with you if you can, or leave it in your bag in a closet if you must take it home. One of the worst ways I get sucked in is browsing personal stuff on my work laptop in the evening.

- Create some routines that force you to not think about work during free time. I'm married, so I own cooking dinner every night (by choice), and I also started going to a certain workout class 4x a week I really like.

- If you gossip/talk with colleagues about what is going on at work politically, stop.

- I have a bad tendency of starting to work too early. I telecommute most of the time, so it feels good to get a jump start and knock several things out. But the reality is other shit comes up to fill that time, and I just end up working really long days. Pick your work hours and stick to them 90% of days.

- Get away from your desk for lunch. [/quote]
