SUMMARY:Have a wind-down routine before you finish work
DESCRIPTION:Make notes about what it is you do and how you think it can help you and your family/friendship circle.\nTransitions are key for me to maintain\nboundaries.\nIf we never ‘finish’ work can we ever truly switch off? It’s harder than ever to\ncreate boundaries between our roles and when our research suggests that\nthere is a pressure to be forever ‘on’, it’s easy to see why overwhelm and\nanxiety is so much on the rise.\nI work for myself and run my own small businesses so with that comes\npressures that are different (though certainly not more important) to those in\nmanagement, employment and who have a job.\nI also enjoy my work, so switching off for the day is hard for me. My best\nideas can pop up in an evening and I need some way of capturing ideas,\ncommunications and so forth.\nI think this comes down to personal responsibility and the awareness of\nboundaries between both home and work life. How do you know you’re\nwinding down from a busy day at work? For me, I tend to avoid meetings past\n4pm. I ensure all emails are followed up with and messages sent. Perhaps\nmore importantly, I create a to do list each and every day so I can try to avoid\nthe ‘I should have made that phone call’ guilt pang late on in the evening.\nI clear my desk, plan my route and journey home and pick a good podcast,\nbook or album to listen to on the way home.\nIf we don’t create boundaries how can anything ever be complete? When is\nenough enough? I know first hand that it’s always possible to do more. But\nhow is this helping us to manage our home roles and our sense of self if all we\ndo is give up our time to work?\n
