I'd be worried about intermixing work + life like that. I've recently tried to be better about keeping my mornings and nights work-free, and I feel better because of it. Do you find that to be a problem at all, and if so, how do you deal with it?
- mike_esspe 16y agoWhen your work is fun, that is not a problem at all.
- ojbyrne 16y agoYeah its an issue. But if there are personal chore-like things you have to anyway, you'd be allocating time out of your non-work hours for them anyway.
- cullenking 16y agoDon't mix personal life (people) and work this way, but for random chores it's fine. I try to give the dog three walks a day this way, which really helps both our sanity. Additionally, I try to get some stretching/pushups/situp breaks mixed in this way. I am not strict (meaning, don't at all) about following a particular timing, just when I feel my brain start to wander. I'll be trying to follow something more strict this week to see if there is something to it.

- cullenking 16y agoI was thinking of my situation when I mentioned this - working from home and having roommates is rough. It's too easy to have a girlfriend or roommate distract you in your ten minute break. My girlfriend assumes I am fair game if I come out of my office, even after repeated "i am at work" conversations. I think most people just don't understand working from hom and how difficult to stay on track it can be.
