I have worked remotely for almost 30 years. I know e feeling of net being able to leave work, but the solution for me was simple. At some point, I moved my office into its own room. Now I can leave work at the end of the day and close the door behind me.
It takes some conditioning to break a workaholic mindset. For me, I filled my time with playing music and then farming. Hobbies became a necessary distraction to maintain a work-life balance. But once the habit was formed, I couldn’t imagine going back.
- MrWiffles 5y agoI tried this myself once upon a time, but I failed the "discipline" part :-) I suspect that's going to be true of most people. And with the cost of housing being out of control, rising exponentially faster than income and inflation, I suspect getting another bedroom (be it via purchasing a larger house or moving to a bigger apartment) is going to be out of reach for most people for quite a while. Still, I agree with your approach here entirely, this is the way to handle it. Co-working space also could work, but then you have a commute, so you might as well just go into the office at that point! Glad you were able to make it work for you!
