What helped me during the last couple months as well as in the past when I freelanced while traveling for a year, is to have some planned activity in between work and free time, basically creating a moat between the two. In my experience is should at least be half an hour and something that "forces" you to think about something else. Be that going for a walk / do groceries while listing to a podcast, work out, cook, play and instrument, drawing, read a newspaper, etc.
