I use my PC for both work and PC gaming. I find I have to get up from my desk for at least 45-60 min and reset after my workday before I'm ready to sit back down and game.

Something that helps me is having 2 laptops (though I'd imagine it would work just as well with 2 accounts on the same computer). My work-provided laptop stays in my work area at all times, and I don't put anything work-related on my personal laptop. I also took at least an hour or two customizing each one (name, background, dock) so that it feels different than the other. That way when I hop off my work laptop at the end of the day, if I decide to pick up my personal laptop, it immediately feels like I'm doing something different.

These days I have different computers for work and play but I used to just have one for both.

If that's you, absolutely, definitely, try having different user accounts for work and personal.

Having that separation is very important, and having different accounts is an cheap and easy way that almost everyone's OS already supports.

Yup. I have a room I use as an ‘office’, with a PC I use for both gaming and work. I look forward to the evening where I take a step back from it, cook dinner, then come back for some games :)

One bad thing is I keep trying to use my Discord push-to-mute keybind in zoom and it never works :(

Not sure what OS you're using but there's various ways to script that so it works when zoom isn't focused.

Not the same but if you have to use the same laptop you can create separate work and leisure user accounts.

When I'm working I use a dock/monitor/mechanical keyboard and sit in an office chair, but after work I switch to just the laptop and sit on the couch. Every little bit helps.

Used to do that before buying the console. Laptop isn't the best for gaming tho (mine atleast).

Couldn't stand doing that. It would just feel like I wasn't getting enough rest you know?

Now I just go to the living room and play in my Xbox. Dunno, I need to change environments to separate things.
