To add, I’d say one of the triggers could be coffee. For me, I take coffee only at work, and I believe it has a “it’s go time” effect on me. I was offered coffee at the same time on the weekend a few times, and really didn’t feel good about drinking it :)

Cheers!

Best advice on this page. It’s pretty much impossible to set strict daily work hours and stick to them when working from home. I can see where tracking your hours to make sure you hit your 40 hours (or whatever) would not only help you turn off work but also help you feel a sense of accomplishment on a weekly basis. I think I’ll give this a whirl since my goal of working 5am-noon while my family is off school and home for the summer doesn’t seem to be working. I end up working a little in the morning, some during the day, and some late at night. Although my work feels disjointed at times, if I can see I am still getting in my weekly goal of hours worked I could rest easier. Thanks for the idea!

I like your thoughts.

Please, let me add something: Perhaps human beings have the tendency to abuse the technology.

Several professionals confess that they turns off their computers and BlackBerrys to get their “real work” done. It’s amazing, isn’t?

These ideas could help:
