With no journey home to make it’s easy to spend those extra minutes or hours at your desk.

Suddenly, before you know it, your partner and children are starting at you with their pyjamas on, wondering when you are going to ‘leave the office’.

The great folks over at Web Worker Daily have put together their thoughts on how to finsh the day here.

Some of their tips include having a clearly defined end point of the day – which moves for nothing. It’s amazing that this really can happen when you’ve an important appointment you can’t miss… when there’s nothing happening that evening – it’s much harder to finish.

If you need to use the Internet after finishing work – make sure you keep your work email switched off.

Ideally – have a separate working area for your working life. Fold it all away if you have to at the end of the day to physically mark its ending!

Discipline is the name of the game and if you keep the balance sensible – employee productivity will win through over time.
