How do you prevent the negativity of your job from impacting your personal life?

I feel that life is too interesting to let your job cause a negative effect on your day, when you get off work read a book, go to the zoo, or go to the movies. Your life can't be work, your life should be your life.

You must separate things very well, sometimes we do work out of necessity, but we cannot allow this to affect our personal environment.

Use the 8*8+8, that is 8 hours of work and 8 hours at home and add 8 hours of sleep, in each of these shifts you must avoid that one thing being related to the other, the best way is to use the time wisely.

The same thing happens to me, I work as a nurse in a hospital in an area where people have few resources, and it is common for me to see 14-year-old children arrive with overdoses or abortions, I always arrive home depressed.

I work in a prison in the food department, yes, I am the one who serves the food without a figure to the prisoners, and it is unfortunate to see how those walls consume their lives, I always feel bad when I leave work, it affects me a lot.

I make sure to take some time for myself every day to relax and keep up with my hobbies and spend time with friends and family, and I try not to dwell on the negative aspects of my job and instead focus on the good things.

As hard as it seems, I really try to think of work as little as possible once I am off the clock. I try to put myself in the mindset that I am home. Otherwise, I find myself mentally exhausted quickly.

I'm pretty good at compartmentalizing all the stuff that bugs me about work and leaving it at the office. I want to enjoy my time alone and with my family and that takes priority over stressing about work

I don't concern myself with work after I walk out that door. What kind of things do you hold on to that are affecting your personal life?

I'm a person first and a worker after. I don't relate my personal worth to my job performance and I don't care about what happens at the workplace while I'm not there

The EA/Admin profession used to be a gateway for many people to get their foot in the door and grow into different career paths. For most organizations this is no longer the case. Do you see EA’s/Admins growing into different roles within your orgs? If so, what paths are taken? What steps are taken to get there? What I’d like to learn is whether our profession still has the capability to be a doorway or if others are seeing the same things I am; limited opportunities for development.
