forget about it. think to your self that your job will not get the best of me and my life. take your life back! and be with your family and have a good time. there are pleanty of jobs out there but your family; there is only one like it.
Give your wife attention for awhile, tell your children you want to learn what they are studying in school so you can be their pupil for them to teach their home work from school to you for awhile.
Do it every night after work for an hour with each class they are taking.
It will help them become more interested in school because they will learn their home work better while teaching it to you, then work on your property maintenance or maybe a hobby with them. Have some fun with them playing a game together after you finish being their pupil.
Just say it is time you learned too so you can be a better Father by understanding the ways of change. You never know you might actually learn a better way of life.
As a nurse, it is hard not to think about what happened that day. When I go home, I see my husband and we have a rule never to discuss what went on at work. Sometimes I cry inside because a patient I loved died. But that’s all part of the circle of life. I try to remember the good things, I make dinner, watch TV with my husband and we have great conversations but never about work. It took time, but we have adjusted to it. Just try not to think about it. Go see some friends or if you’re married, talk to your spouse about different things you want to accomplish. If you continue to think about work and bring the problems home, you could drive yourself and your family crazy. Relax, work will be there tomorrow only to begin again. Make the best of it.
Hit the gym, take a jog, go for a swim or a bike ride after work. You’ll improve your health, look better, and feel better too. Exercise has been shown to decrease depression and other unpleasant mental and emotional states. It will also give you time between work and going home to process your workday before walking through the door and unloading on your loved ones.
Depends on the job. When I worked ER, I had to talk with my wife about what happened. It was a way for stress relief. I don’t know what kind of work you’re in but if it is a highly stressed job don’t hold your anger or stress inside. It will only make matters worse. If it is stress, tell your wife or a friend that you want to discuss what’s going on at work for a preset time period and then leave it at that and go on.
I know this one cause, I am a professional working from home!
At quitting time, I put the phone on answering machine and shut the door to my office…… then I go to the gym and work out for an hour or more, use the steam room, have a shave and a shower, then drive home after the commuter traffic has eased. In the morning, I put on my slippers, open the office and start work early… before the phone starts ringing.
When you work for yourself, you realise that there is always work to be done tomorrow… in fact times where I have had contracts that I didn’t expect to complete for 6 years… and six years of work in progress can be terrifying for a small practice so you can’t “take your work home” so to speak and stay friendly….
Anyway.. point is… there is always work to be done tomorrow. You just gotta plan it in advance… and the time spent in the gym I think makes me more productive at work. The phone will ring after office hours and guess what… I don’t answer it … and none of my clients are bothered by that!
So forward plan and join a gym and learn to relax ~ you will perform all the better because of it.
The best way I have found to separate my personal life from my professional life is not to take it personally.
Work-time is work-time, and non-work time is non-work time. Even though my work is an important part of me, I know I will have successes and, if I made any mistakes, I can learn from them and do better the next chance I get. I can’t control other people, places or things so I realize there will be good days, and not so good days.
When work-time is finished, it is that: finished for the day. I know I will be returning, so any unfinished business will get my attention then.
If something is really bothering me, I talk to someone I trust and has the time to listen, and then let it go.
Work is such a large part of an adult life that it so easily blends into our identity, and it is not all of who you are.
Unless you are God, you don’t have the whole world on your shoulders, even if at times it feels like it.
Good luck my friend.
Easy.
1. Have a different phone for work and never use your work phone at home (unless you deal with emergency response of course).
2. The minute you get into your car/bus/whatever, take off any work identifying stuff (eg badges, your tie, jacket, etc) and occupy yourself with the radio or the news on your way home.
3. When you get home change into something comfortable and spend a good half hour on the couch just going “ahh no more work for the rest of the day”.
The journey home from work is your time to make the change in mindset. When you get home spend time appreciating the things you like about being at home.
