This is _so_ key. Even if it's just having a laptop where you open the lid to work and when you close it, you're DONE. If you don't find a way to separate "work" life from "home" life, you'll go crazy.
- rqtwteye 3y agoTotally agree. I have my personal stuff on one desk and the work stuff on another. When I turn one way it's all personal stuff and the other way is only work stuff. There is no overlap between personal and work devices and other equipment. Obviously it helps if you are able to have a separate room or at least a section of room for work.

- rqtwteye 3y agoTotally. If they want me to check anything work related on my phone they have to give me one.
- ghaff 3y agoAs someone who has done a lot of work travel and work from home, I'm going to argue that it depends. You set your own boundaries and not everyone needs to make it about closing a lid on a laptop. I don't go crazy and I've had a lot of great experiences mixing business and pleasure on the road (and around my home).
