Discussion on: When working from home, how do you turn off at the end of the day?

I have a specific work laptop that I don't use for any other purposes. I don't let my work email create notifications on my phone and I have pretty aggressive Do not Disturb schedule in Slack, too.

When I log on for the day, I set a reminder in slack for me to log off whenever my day should end. When I get that reminder I'll try to clean up/wrap up whatever I'm working on, say my goodbyes, and then close the laptop. Sometimes I'll still get the itch to open it back up and knock out some project that's been occupying my mind, but the separation helps keep those moments rare.
