I’m also an adult with these same struggles. And I work for myself so there is no clear line between work and home.

I find it is helping me to give myself space after I get off of long calls, especially in the afternoon.

Changing clothes and getting out into nature for a bit helps a lot. Even when I feel that there is so much to do, and my list is still long, I know I won’t be effective in that state. Connecting with nature and taking time to rest is much more helpful to me in the long run.

YES!! Same here. I have transition issues from work to home. One thing that works for me is to actually mark the transition by changing my clothes. I also find myself still wanting to concentrate on work things (where I have a lot more control), but my family is pulling me in 18 different directions! Good luck to all of us adults!

This is me to a T, except instead of it being when a child gets home from school, for me it’s when I get home from work. I swear I still have symptoms of a child but I’m an adult.

If my son has had a day at school where he has had a harder time taking him to run errands is a bear every time.
