When work is stressful, it can be difficult to disengage at the end of the day. But research shows that certain routines can help: finish one small task before you leave the office, write a to-do list for the next day, tidy your desk, create a ritual to mark the end of professional time, and start your personal time in the evening on a positive note with the right sort of friend or family engagement. Used together, these five steps can greatly improve work-life balance.
