Just as you start your workday with a routine, it’s important to have a wind-down ritual at the end of the day. This signals to your brain that work is over, helping you transition into personal time. Your end-of-day routine could involve turning off your computer, making a to-do list for the next day, and spending time away from screens.
Having a routine to end your workday also helps you avoid overworking, which is a common pitfall of working from home. By setting boundaries for when your workday is officially over, you can maintain a healthy work-life balance.
