With office work, the commute was more than just exercise - it was a time for me to transition from HomeTW to OfficeTW - who are different enough people that friends / family that talk to me while I'm in the office notice it - it also enables me to compartmentalise work and home. I don't even think about work, if I can help it, when I'm at home.
Having my office right next to the living room makes this quite difficult. Having people coming into my office makes this difficult.
The blurring has not been easy, and, unfortunately, I don't see a fix.
I try to mitigate it by being in my office alone, and not coming out to chatter.
When I finish (haha) the garden office, that mental distancing will have a physical aspect to it that should help out too.
