A commute used to do this job. Write it all down, put the laptop out of sight, change something you are wearing, and step outside before the evening starts.
How to do it
- 1Write down everything still in your head from work. All of it, as a list.
- 2Close the laptop and put it out of sight.
- 3Change your clothes, even just your shoes.
- 4Go outside or to a window.
- 5Wash your face or your hands with warm water.
- 6Pick the first thing you will do tonight that has nothing to do with work. Go and do it.
An experience, not a claim. Offered as a way to take a break. Away makes no health claim for it.
