I love what you set. I do pretty much the same thing and it's been a game changer. I actually turn off work notifications right after dinner and set a hard stop by closing my laptop. Then I dive into something totally unrelated, like cooking or a quick walk, to reset.
That sounds like such a solid routine. I’m finding that physical cues—like shutting the laptop or even changing clothes—really help me mentally switch off too. It’s wild how something as small as turning off notifications can make such a big difference in how rested you feel the next day.
How long did it take you to get comfortable with setting boundaries? I still massively struggle with it, which means I feel like I'm on the clock 24/7. It's exhausting, even though I know it's my own fault. I just worry about retaliation if I start setting boundaries.
Totally get that—honestly, it took me ages to get comfortable with it. I used to feel guilty every time I didn’t reply instantly. What helped was starting small—like setting one “no email” hour in the evening—and gradually building from there. Boundaries don’t have to be all or nothing, and the right people will respect them. It’s not your fault—it’s the culture we work in.
I make a conscious effort to create a boundary in my mind between work and my own time. Some people call it a separation ritual, and the basic idea is to do something at the end of the workday that involves your mind but isn't work related. It can be reading a book for 45 minutes, or taking a walk, or cooking a good meal. Just get thinking about something else, and once you've done that your mind is redirected into your own personal time. It can take some practice, but once you do it as a routine it can work pretty well.
I don’t do anything that might be related to my job. It can make it hard when you’re working in this industry but when I go to the cinema, I tune out the trailers so I can enjoy the movie and at home I usually dabble in different media.
Yeah I try to keep productive/creative hobbies going so I can keep my brain active not at work, just not have them be in anyway related to my job!
