Jane, you're definitely not alone in feeling this way! Balancing work and personal life can feel like a never-ending juggling act, especially with the mix of remote and in-person commitments. I've found that setting a strict "end of workday" alarm really helps me. When it goes off, I make a conscious effort to step away from my work setup, even if it's just for a quick walk or a coffee break. It creates a mental separation between work and home life.

Time-blocking can be a game-changer too! I started by blocking out time for non-work activities like exercise or reading, and it made a huge difference. It's like giving yourself permission to focus on personal time without feeling guilty. And yes, losing track of time at home is so easy! Maybe try using a timer to remind yourself to take breaks. Hope this helps a bit! 😊

You're definitely not alone in feeling like you're juggling too many balls in the air! I've found that setting boundaries is a great start, but it can be tricky to stick to them, especially when work creeps into personal time. One thing that really helped me was creating a dedicated workspace at home. It makes it easier to "leave" work at the end of the day, even if it's just a corner of a room.

Time-blocking can be a game-changer! I use it to schedule breaks and personal time, which helps me stay on track and avoid burnout. It's also super important to communicate your boundaries with colleagues, so they know when you're available. And yes, losing track of time is so common when working from home! Setting alarms or reminders can help keep you on schedule. Hang in there, and remember to take time for yourself too! 😊

You're definitely not alone in feeling this way! Balancing work and personal life can feel like a circus act, especially with the shift back to in-person events. Time-blocking can be a game-changer, though! It helps create a more structured day and ensures you allocate time for both work and personal activities. Start small by blocking out chunks of time for specific tasks and gradually adjust as needed.

Another tip is to set up a dedicated workspace if you haven't already. It can help create a mental boundary between work and home life. Also, try setting alarms or reminders to take breaks and step away from your screen. It’s amazing how a short walk or a few minutes of stretching can refresh your mind. Hang in there, and remember to be kind to yourself during this transition! 😊
