Great points. I probably should incorporate stricter boundaries between work and life. I have been marrying them together because my son is in the same primary school I teach at. But I think I will come to an equilibrium soon enough.
But how do you get your mind to switch off from workplace idiocracy? I think having kids helps me stay detached, but sometimes I fail miserably
i find to me the key to shutting of is shutting down slack, because that's what is mostly used for team communication, so when i shut that off, it's like i shut off the work part because whatever comes up, i can deal with it in the morning.
usually ill play video games from i get home, and that will usually absorb my attention and take my mind off any work related nonsense
I get it. Some ritual that symbolises the closing of one chapter!
To me, i would say, it's when im not stressing or thinking about something work-related at home. When i shut down slack, basically i expect to then be mentally totally off.
last q4 was chaos for me and i was quite angry and stressed for a few months, and that bullshit ripples out and affects everyone.
Most of this was due to product launching in many marketplaces and once and then stock ins and general chaos.
The lesson for me is to be stricter with shutting off any work comms and not letting other people's urgent drama affect me, which then gives me the right level of work-life ballance
