It helps if you have a clearly defined workspace that you "leave" at the end of the day and don't use for other things. It also helps if that workspace is separated from where you normally relax and do home stuff. That basically becomes the barrier where your work stays in and home stuff stays out and vice versa.

Beyond that, it's largely mental discipline.

Agreed. If you get work emails, if possible disable work email notifications while you're off the clock. Outlook's Mobile app has a function for this that was really helpful for me, for a long time I'd see emails about things happening and I'd get upset or wonder what was happening because I couldn't help but see the notifications.

And also, this isn't a blanket recommendation because it's not a strict pro, it has cons, but smoking weed helps me because I tend to focus on the moment and become invested in what's right in front of me while I'm high, so in combination with an immersive video game I can escape to there and completely forget about work long enough to hard separate myself from my work brain.

It doesn’t even have to be much separation, just enough that you can mentally leave it. I work from home but don’t have space to dedicate an office.p, so set up my laptop in my dining room. However I have a deskchair I only use for work, and only use that end of the table for work. That seems to be enough for me to mentally leave when I physically leave it

Unfortunately I get work email and slack on my phone. Slack is not a problem because it’s work only. However maybe that’s why I rarely check my personal email these days
