One technique I've used to some success is to create a border in my mind between work and my own time. Try doing the same thing every day when work is done, whether it's taking a walk, or listening to music in the same chair, or cooking a meal. Just getting involved with something for a while as a routine can get you used to the idea that work is over for the day. It can be a good way to transition to being on your own time.
^This is great! I have a playlist that I listen to on the drive to work and another one for after work. I guess I never thought of it that way but you’re absolutely right!

Go for a walk, and during the walk practice mindfulness. You need to be in the moment to be fully present with your home and personal life
You have to retrain your brain. I use the drive home to decompress, yell, cry, scream, prioritize for tomorrow or whatever. That's it, that is all my job gets of me. Then, whenever work starts to creep in I immediately think of something else. That alternate thought can be about whatever, cloud formations, a project, tv show, whatever.

I'm retiring this year after 32 years with a life and a soul by learning how to do this.
Yup. Always been a night owl and just prefer late nights to early mornings. So it's a struggle, especially if there's some early meeting, deadline for the next day. Yet, somehow I manage and function pretty well.
You should find something you like to do and do it once a week, like going to the park, going to the mall for a walk, or something else that distracts your thoughts. Another thing that helps me personally is fenshui, burning sage when I have a lot of thoughts, that calms my mind and I can sleep very well. Also, vanda, when you get off work, take a bath with that fragrance.

Take 3-5m to move your full attention to your breath and body sensations. Your su needs time to reset and refocus. This practice is like polishing on the clutch to chafe gears. ⚙️
