You have a work life. You have a home life. And you have, most likely, forgotten how to keep them separate.

And bringing your work home with you can take a serious toll on your productivity, relationships, and your physical & mental health.

Here are 11 ways to stop thinking about work when you're not at work:

Forget slogans and posters. Forget mission statements. Forget culture decks. A survey of over 400,000 people across the U.S. found that when employees believe promotions are managed effectively, they are more than two times as likely to give extra effort at work -- and to plan for having a long-term future with their company.

 

But wait, there's more: When employees believe promotions are managed effectively, they are more than five times as likely to believe their leaders act with integrity.

 

The result? At those companies, employee turnover rates are half that of other companies in the same industry. Productivity, innovation, and growth metrics outperform the competition. For public companies, stock returns are almost three times the market average.
