While expensive for some this is a good idea. Another option would be to dual boot.

Keep all work related code, apps, and accounts off your personal PC/boot so you aren't tempted to look or "check in" on things.

I've been WFH for about 12 years now on a single PC, but that idea sounds good as I am guilty of checking in on things here and there.

Having different PC profiles/users is usually enough. After several years of that, I found that just having multiple desktops was enough (and a bit more convenient). For gaming though, I switch to another user profile.
