My daughter comes in from school and I down tools. I try to remember to lift the paint brushes out of the water, and turn my computer off, but don’t always manage that 😂
I have a dog to walk at the end of the day, and then dinner to cook etc. To be honest though, part of my routine is to do another hour or so of work after dinner while my kid does her homework.
I have been trying to get this in place. Ideally, I want to create a routine where I do some non-screen related activity. I am a lawyer by profession- so my entire day is all about sitting in front of a screen reading through documents. I feel like a proper break away from that would translate into actual transition from workday to the rest of my day.
I think it’s good to journal at the end of each day. Some days we feel we didn’t get much done, but journaling might remind us, yes we got less work done but we managed to do some chore or errand, and that still makes it a good day.
It’s also good to ask, how today could have been better, you’ll be surprised how difficult it is to find fault with ourself. but if you can do it, it’s the seed of what we could do better tomorrow!

Sometimes I find a change of clothes helps or, I will rush to the Post Office before it closes and call that my last job of the working day.
Great question - I don't have one, and really need to take some positive steps in this direction! Interested to read the thoughts of others on this. 😀
