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

First of all, stay focused during work hours, avoid distractions with Social Media or the TV, listen to music instead, bookmark articles that interest you instead of reading them ASAP... be strict with the work hours, remember that you don't get paid extra for the extra time; that should give you enough productive hours (including some healthy pauses to not burn yourself out).

At the end of the day, I usually take my dog to a nearby park for a long walk/run/play session. When I come back home, I avoid going back to the computer, instead, I cook dinner or get ready to go out for a drink, try a new restaurant, etc. Later, you can watch a flick, or read a non-technical book (an actual paper book, not digital to avoid blue light)... and that does it for me. After another a short dog walk I'm ready to sleep and recharge batteries.
