Establish a “Fake Commute” to Separate Work and Life

How: Start your day by going for a 10-minute walk, listening to a podcast, or changing locations before work. Do the same at the end of the day.

Why: It helps your brain transition into and out of work mode, preventing burnout.

When: Every day before and after work to maintain a boundary between personal and work life.

Example: Lisa, a remote team lead, felt like her workday never ended. She started doing a “fake commute” by walking outside before and after work. It improved her mental clarity and energy levels.
