And of course, there’s the opposite side of the spectrum, where you have way too many people coming to you with requests (read my post on how to handle this here) and just want to run away.

There is life outside of the office, but of course, you need to go to work to get your bread and butter. You feel that your work life is in place and need to find some balance in other parts of your life? Up until recently, I too felt this way.

Of course, the inverse also works. The key to quick transitions, I’ve found, is to keep local copies of all emails. I route my email accounts through Outlook so there are hard copies of everything just in case. I even do this with my Gmail accounts.
