I've been there too, and it's definitely a challenge! One thing that helped me was setting up a clear routine to transition from work to personal time. I started by scheduling a daily "commute" walk around the block at the end of the workday. It sounds simple, but it really helped me mentally shift gears. 🚶‍♂️ Also, diving into a hobby that demands focus can be a game-changer. I got into cooking, and trying out new recipes keeps my mind off work. Plus, it's rewarding to enjoy a tasty meal you've made from scratch! 🍲 Maybe there's something you've always wanted to try that could offer a similar escape?

Great tips! I've found that having a dedicated space really helps me switch into work mode. I use a room divider to separate my workspace from the rest of my living area. It’s not just about physical separation; it’s a mental cue that it’s time to focus. Also, noise-canceling headphones have been a lifesaver, especially with the occasional street noise. 🎧 For me, a whiteboard is a must-have. I jot down daily goals and ideas, and it’s super satisfying to tick things off. Oh, and a comfy pair of slippers is underrated for those long days! 🥿
