I start the workday by setting up my work laptop on the desk and finish the workday by removing the laptop from the desk.
Setting boundaries is paramount. Do this physically. Once I'm no longer working, I don't have a single thought about work. Work ceases to exist when I'm done with the workday.
Me too. I used to hook my laptop up to my desktop screen/keyboard/mouse, but I no longer do in order to create those queues.
I'm also the same in that once work is done, it's gone, I don't think about it, answer emails or check slack. If I didn't make the brutal, no exceptions separation I would never enjoy life or work and I would burn out (again).
For a lot of people I know (all located in europe, maybe that makes the difference) the only 'desktop/laptop' they have, is work issued. So it's the other way around.
Just create 2 logins on it, one for work, one for private.
