We now feel as though we have to stay in touch with the office around the clock. Our Blackberrys and iPhones are never more than an arm’s reach away, even when we are sleeping. How many of us leave our phones plugged into their chargers on the bedside table and/or have the phone on vibrate mode so that we can look at it if we hear it? Stop it!
Look at the photo of my Albany bedroom. You will notice a work desk where most people would have a laptop or computer. Don't put a workstation in your bedroom. If space is really an issue and you have to have a desk for your laptop in your bedroom, put it away at night so that you don't see it if you happen to get up to go the bathroom (which just might cause your mind to start focusing on work at 3.am.!) Keep your bedroom clean and clear of outside influences. Above all, focus on you and your loved one!
