I did this exact same thing at my last job, and I agree that it's remarkable how much it made both work and non work life better. Drawing hard lines can oftentimes make compliance much easier. Just the fact that I had decided to not have/do ANY personal stuff on my work computer made it very easy to focus and be extremely productive. I'm in the middle of my career, and it was by far my most productive time as a software engineer. That being said, I didn't work myself to the bone. Instead of taking breaks with reddit, checking personal email, or spending time on social networks, I allowed myself long lunches, long walks, naps in the park or at the beach, and other forms of relaxation during the working day. This easy pace allowed me to perform some of the highest quality and most creative work of my career.
