Agreeing with what most people said about distinction between work and non-work that is getting hard to define especially with home office. I don't think work-life balance is the best keyword here are people are vastly different and satisfaction with both areas is much more important than how big they are.
I think most important is to have projects. Not work projects but personal ones – no matter what they are. Even if you want to relax, close the laptop but then don't have anything to do or think about you drift back to work stuff.
So having something to occupy the mind is #1 for actually stopping work mode. For me personally 'just resting' or quitting without a plan is a trap as I can't rest without eventually thinking about work anyway. Better to build that plastic model, paint the kitchen, go out or cook that meal.
