Clocking Off

The Platespinning Academy Podcast

When you work from home, the line between work and life can blur into one big, messy tangle. In this episode, I talk about the concept of “clocking off” and how it’s so much harder to achieve when your office is also your living room, kitchen, or spare bedroom.

Back in the day, traditional workplaces had time clocks to mark the start and end of the workday - a clear boundary that many of us working from home just don’t have. Without the physical separation of a commute or a designated workspace, it’s easy to find yourself constantly “on.”

I share some practical strategies I’ve used to create intentional transitions between work and home life, like setting up temporary workspaces and packing away work materials at the end of the day. Even small things, like a visual cue to signal the end of your workday, can make a big difference in how you mentally clock off.

If you’re struggling to find balance while working from home, this episode will help you set boundaries, reclaim your personal time, and maintain your sanity in the process. Let’s make work-life balance a reality, one intentional step at a time.

About Nic:

I'm a home organisation and lifestyle mentor. I help business owners get life organised at home, so they can reclaim their headspace, time and energy needed to grow and run a successful business.
I've navigated through adverse times with hard-hitting curveballs that have forced me to re-assess the importance of self-care and having firm boundaries in place, as well as becoming more organised in the day-to-day running of home, business, and life in general.

My mission is to make sure that everyone has an equal opportunity to create a business they love, without feeling held back by household obligations, or adversity. Drawing upon a diverse range of life experience, I'm building an online community that supports anyone who is struggling to balance home life and business together.
