I rarely goes online in the evening but when I have an interesting problem, it's not rare that I have a solution when I wake up in the morning! So you don't really stop working at 6pm..

I'll be sure to let my boss know about your definition of "working" when it's time for performance reviews :)

It really depends on each person. Maybe it’s an ADHD symptom, maybe it’s just me, but I stop thinking about work as soon as I shut down my computer. And it’s not about wether I like my work or not, it’s just that I have more important things to think about or that I just let my mind wander.

I typically stop thinking about work entirely after I clock out. I already spent most of the day on the problem, and that exceeds my natural interest in it.

  It goes both ways though - if I can't stop thinking about something that's just not quite working yet, then I haven't/can't 'clock out'. I think I'd like a job with truly flexible hours: work all evening on something if it's occupying my thoughts anyway, but then get a full 'evening' to chill, full night's sleep, and start the next day when I'm ready. I can do the former, but I'm still going to be expected to dial in ~to pointlessly summarise it~ for stand-up in the morning. (No I don't have young children, yes yes this wouldn't work for everybody.)

So you don't really stop working at 6pm.. I've started billing that. Not always, rarely in full, but I bill some of it. It's not just for the money but started more like "what exactly do I work? Best way to know is to bill it".

  Unless you're a contractor, exempt salaried employees are exempt from overtime requirements and thus typically can't bill for overtime, unless their employer likes burning money for some reason.
