Transitioning from work-mode to personal-mode can be difficult if we have had a busy and stressful day working. It can be even more difficult for those who may be working from home and do not have a period to commute home while decompressing. Developing routines that support with the transition between work and personal, helps to develop healthy work boundaries and support work-life balance.
