Same. It's good to set up certain rituals - a hug, kiss on the cheek. Whenever 'leaving' for work and 'coming home'. It helps when drawing the line on some gray area things, like going to the bathroom and grabbing a sandwich.

How do you get around the problem of not leaving the house? I find that the biggest reason I go back to co-working is that it gives me an excuse to walk to the metro station and just be in the open air.

I always had hobies: I used to be into live music A LOT: I went out to gigs like 5 or 6 times a week, then there was always some friends around, wine tastings, mountain hiking or random trips on weekends. I have small kids now, so I dont go out very often but there is always hiking on weekends and I spend one day a week on my wine farm.

This is great advice. How long have you had this arrangement?

Since our first kid was born, so for them it is just natural way of life.
