This is one of the reasons I’m looking forward to a commute (if you can believe that)! I know I find myself needing about 30 minutes or so to wind down and clock out. Then, instead of telling my husband I’m not in the mindset yet, I hope I’ll have had time to decompress. Someone on your facebook mentioned taking the time by driving around the block or sitting in the car and it resonated with me. I think it’s one of the very few downsides to where we live in relation to where we work.

Congrats of having such an exciting job! When I worked in law, I had trouble leaving it at the office. I kept a small notebook handy for ideas, questions, etc. that would pop into my head at night. Also, sometimes leaving myself a voice memo in my phone.

Start early. I work full-time from home, so I never really leave the office. I get up at 4-4:30 a.m. so I can get in a couple of hours’ work before the kids are awake. I find that much easier than planning to do a couple of hours’ work after they go to bed.
