off time
 
The main question I have nowadays is how do you separate work time from off time. Right now I have a 30 minute drive to the office that is perfect for gearing up for work and cooling off on the way home. How do you guys handle it when home is a few inches from work?

I have a 140 inch sleeper with all the comforts so I just close the curtains and "That is work, this is home". The only time I am reminded is when I go out the back door and have to sit the BBQ on the front of the trailer :)

That is what I used breakfast and supper for each day. A chance to switch gears mentally.

If I'm at a dock, it's work. Any other time is off time.

Not that I log it that way, of course - it's just attitude thing
