Yeah, the carrying two laptops part is also my issue. Of course, I am well within my rights to not take my work laptop with me when I go anywhere and if a disaster strikes, I can just tell my manager to sod off - but it's just easier to take the work laptop and do my YouTube watching on it.

As for me, I’ve done the two-laptop thing when traveling since 5y or so. It’s actually worth it for other reasons too - having your only computer have a hardware failure or be stolen in the jungle is no fun. If both are of the same make you could even boot one’s drive off the other in a pinch. For all the “what about X?” questions in this thread... you will figure it out easier and faster than you think once you force yourself to change habits.
