**separate not seperate. oops.
I know there's plenty of threads on avoiding burnout but this is more about how to keep boundaries so that when you're away from work you feel like yourself and aren't just planning your whole day/life about going to work later, or otherwise being a workaholic drag.
Doing so effectively leads to avoiding work bleedover problems like: not being able to transition out of your "work persona", not wanting to wear sexy outfits because they feel like work clothes, not being in the mood to have sex with your s/o, feeling like your whole life is work, and of course burnout.
I'll start with a few ideas.
Wear different outfits at work then you would wear personally at home. It doesn't matter if its "your style" or not, it matters if its a money maker. I used to wear all black lingerie because its my style, but i'm transitioning to wearing more neon stripper-like clothes because i've noticed i never wear any cute panties at home anymore because they make me feel at work. the more distinct my work style is from my home style, the less i'll associate them with each other.
Tell stories or vent about work on stripperweb instead of talking to s/o & friends. I've noticed the more i work the more i talk about my customers to my boyfriend... which is just a form of being a workaholic and not being able to stop thinking about the club when i'm away.
This is kinda abstract but... Don't think about planning your day around work, but instead think about work as just one puzzle piece in your day. Everything else you do in a day isn't just "the stuff you do before work" but stuff you do thats important in its own right.
Make your work persona very different from your home persona. Have a different career or say youre going to school for a different degree, or otherwise change details about your life. This helps create a clear distinction between you & your work persona.
anyone else have any suggestions?
