I loved reading this. I'm someone who actually enjoys going in to office and working with really smart folks on technically challenging problems, but once I come back home, I used to always end up bringing the "baggage" of work back home with me (Anyone who enjoys the world of tech would relate I'm sure).
Until, that is, I started making tea as a buffer between work and the rest of my life. Making tea is something that's nearly mechanical process for me now, but gives me that much needed 20-30 mins where I'm physically doing something, but my mind is allowed to just wander around a bit, settle down, "suspend all the work-related tabs" in my brain, and refresh information for the rest of the day.
An added bonus is that I always start my evenings with brownie points, earlier with my roommates, and now with my wife, since they know that me getting home means in a few mins, a nice hot cup of tea will be served to them ;)
