A recent national survey found that 44 percent of American men believe an eight-hour work day doesn’t give them enough time to complete their work. Many of us, as a result tend to bring unfinished business home, if not in our briefcases then in our minds. How do we shut off our work in order to be present and focused on our families and ourselves?

I'm not a man, but I have the same problem. I just have to force myself to focus on home life. Doing something with my S.O. or doing something around the house (like tending to my garden) helps me "detox" from work.
What works for me is photography. I get really into it and completely forget about anything that worries me. I also read a good fiction book from time to time with an interesting and enticing plot that will keep me glued to the book, something that is able to take me away for at least an hour or two. Or... watching a series helps too. I always got into novelas (mexican soap operas) they're very different to the American ones, and they really keep you there at least for the hour that they're on, so dramatic.
