Hide it in a corner somewhere and try not to think about it.

After reading that, all I can say thank god that I'm retired.

I hate bringing work home too. My advice? Leave it where it is, get up early on Monday, go back to work and do it there.

But ever since they allowed us access to work email from home I can't resist a peak to see who is trying to impress by emailing at the weekends...

Thats one advantage of being a prison officer, they don't let you take your work home!!!

Most people I know who 'take work home' never do any of it - they just lug it about physically and mentally. I'm sure it's because they're procrastinating over some other issue and it's a convenient excuse. In your case, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

I love the whooshing sound that deadlines make as they go past.

I brought some work home a couple of weeks ago - I didn't really have much choice as I was trying to wrap up all the invoices in preparation for the accountant, I only work part-time and had already been working full days - so I did it. (Not to mention that I'm still on my trial period.)

But I make it a principle NOT to check my work emails from home. Hell - I've forgotten how to.

aaahhhahaha........but then, i do home-based childcare, so not much difference between home & work *shrugs shoulders*.

My point exactly - home is for home stuff, and work for work stuff. Plus lugging all that work home on the Piccadilly Line gives me backache...

Only Robinson Crusoe gets all of his work done by Friday.

Does this mean you are going to clean the flat instead of doing or even thinking about doing the work?

I'd like to bring more work home but they don't really encourage it in the abattoir business

With that perspective, good thing you didn't become a teacher Apparently we're supposed to sell our souls to the work-at-home devils.

I work from home. Pah. If work comes in, I do it. Evenings, weekends, whenever. Welcome to the world of the both self-employed and voluntary worker.

I cannot believe how precisely you have expressed my own attitude towards taking work home! Even in university, I tended to do all my work at the library or studio (architecture)staying as late as I needed - time in the dorms was for living.

I never support people who bring work home. It is very unfortunate that they are not giving time to their family as much they are giving to their work. Anyhow, it's been a nice article. Thanks a lot for posting it.

My partner and i run our own business. He works in the office 9-5.00 but he always seems to have little extras to do at night. However i have put my foot down an taken back our weekends.

It's a slippery slope. As someone that finds it difficult not to log into a work e-mail account and suffers from it, stop it now and preserve your freedom while you can

Very apt in these days of increased "working from home". For me it does not make sense to be "at work" when one is in fact "at home"!
