> my home is a place to relax and not think about work, and my workplace is a place to concentrate and not relax, the boundary helps me keep the right work life balance You know I had this same opinion in 2009 when I was offered a position to work from home. It was such a strange thing to think about, working at home. I wasn't fond of my then current job. Was engaged to be married. We talked it over and I decided to take it. Seven years later, I don't want to ever go back to working in an office. I learned to keep my set hours, and stay away from my work after hours. I now have kids which helps keeping away from my desk. At the end of my day I quit every single work related application, so if I go back to the computer to do my own thing it's a blank slate. Not going to lie, it took a while to shake that "I'm always at work" feeling for the first few months. It still comes around, but very rare. Going in the backyard to play with the dogs, swing the kid, or grabbing some lunch once a week all helped with "escaping" and gaining a sense of normalcy.
