I would appreciate any advice people are willing to share about how I can stop feeling like I'm still at work at the end of the day, especially since I have a home office

After WFH for the past 2 years, I finally bought a small desk. I ONLY work when I am at that desk. I never work on the couch or in any other spot. That small change has made a huge difference for me personally

Immediately after finishing work, I try to go outside (even if for only 10 mins). I feel like that helps clear work from my mind so I'm ready for the next part of my evening whether it be cooking dinner, getting in a workout, etc.
