Since I work remotely, the line between my desk and my living room is gone! I finished a last-minute deal negotiation, and I'm still stressed out. How can I reset my mind and mentally switch gears after a long day of WFH?

I know exactly how you feel. That is one of the reasons I hate working from home. It seems like I can never relax because I am always in work mode.

I noticed it was really hard to turn off from work when I was working in the living room. We ended up rearranging the spare room into a home office so I can literally and metaphorically shut the door on work at the end of the day. It helps a lot, to have that physical separation between your job and your home.

Can you establish some kind of a physical barrier?

Or can you at least shut your laptop and put as much out of sight as you can?

Hi
Would love to get your opinion on this-
I am planning on applying to business school this year in round 1 and round 2. I am in india working at D. I have received an offer to work with another big 4 in London as manager with their consulting team starting June. The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F
