I thought the 'no work after 6pm' rule was silly until I forced myself to stick to it for a week.
My partner literally hid my laptop charger at 6:01, and for the first time in months I actually watched a movie without thinking about a project, so has anyone else found a simple rule that actually worked?

My old rule was no work emails after dinner. Broke it so often my inbox started sending me disappointed looks. Had to switch to just leaving my phone in another room.

Feel your pain, my phone used to give me actual guilt trips. Now it just buzzes angrily from the kitchen drawer like a trapped hornet. Honestly, the only way to win is to not play the game after hours. My laptop stays closed too, or I'll find myself "just checking one thing" at midnight. That physical separation thing is the real deal, no other fix works long term.

Ever try turning off notifications after six?
