So one of my first jobs ended up being work from home and I was on call effectively 24/7. It was a small, international team and when something priority on the other side of the planet came up I needed to be awake for it. Sleep was spotty and I worked very long hours. Work was always on my mind there was no home. Eventually I got seriously burnt out, like for years. Upon entering the workforce again I was worried I wouldn't be able to separate work and home again. I did a lot of soul searching and some research and for me I found the best solution is to just not give a fuck about my job I don't do anything important anyway. I barely even think about work when I'm at work makes it easy to set it down when I leave for the day.
