When working from home, it's easy to let your work consume you. In fact, for most jobs, it is easy to let work consume you. Within most occupations, people will tell you to leave your work at work. Sometimes this is easier said than done, but when you are working from home it can be even more difficult.
Even when you are working from home you need to find time for you. You also need to find time for your family and friends. Family and friends are your biggest support systems, and the people you depend on to lift you up when you're down. Make sure when you are spending time with family and friends that you don't just talk about work. Find a fun topic to discuss; talk about family, talk about anything other than work. If work comes up, address the question/comment but move on quickly. Remember, work should be left at work.
Once again, when it's time to quit work, it's time to quit work. Leave it in your defined work space at the end of the day. Go spend some time with family or doing something else that you enjoy. Find a hobby that you enjoy and spend some time doing that a few times a week. This can be a time for you to relax and clear your mind of work.
