Your first sentence makes me wonder how much "taking work home" has compromised our social lives. On any given night trying to catch up with friends, it's likely that at least one will have a deadline they're working to, or trying not to fall behind on workload in general. If you come up against that a couple of times, or have your own work pressures, I find that you're less likely to initiate anything.
