[quote=Anonymous]I work in health care and some of what I do really is "life and death" so it can be hard to turn that off sometimes. But the part that comes home with me sometimes is just caring deeply about another human and I don't want to lose that. I also feel invested in learning about my field and feel fortunate that there's always more to learn. So if I'm bringing home journal articles and such I don't really feel like my work is taking over my life. The other stuff--performance reviews, office politics, etc--I agree with PPs that not having access to email and the like helps a lot. If I get wrapped up in something I might vent to DH but I try to shut it off after 10 minutes or so. If I'm really wrapped up in something I might make a phone reminder to do something about it when I get back to work. And having kids has helped but also just having non-work interests and hobbies makes a big difference too. [/quote]
