Create a dedicated workspace

Even a specific corner of a table works. The key is a consistent spot your brain associates with work — when you leave it, work stays there too.

Time-block your day

Plan your day in blocks: deep work in the morning, meetings midday, admin in the afternoon. Protect your peak-energy hours for your hardest tasks.

End the day on purpose

Have a shutdown ritual — close the laptop, change clothes, take a walk. Without a commute, you need a deliberate signal that work is over.
