Set a hard finish time
If you don't have a real "go-home" time, you'd easily forget to leave work and often stay late, and while some may commend that, it can cause a toll on your health.
One way to solve this problem is to have an appointment that will force you to get out of the door after work hours. This will structure your day to leave on time.
Here are some ideas for events you can schedule after work:
- Meet a friend for dinner
- Go to the gym and exercise after work
- Sign up for a class
Make sure to put the event on your calendar and treat them as events that are ugent.
