Oh I know the feeling.
I'll just add to this:
- Can I work from home?
- No
- Why?
- Because working from home you might be not as efficient as from office

I once got my boss to admit that they didn't trust people to do actual work from home, and that's why they didn't allow it. It was oddly satisfying.
These days I can work from home when I want, but I don't because it stresses me out not to have a clear separation between home and work.

It's really hard. Takes some practice and discipline. One good way is to literally switch everything off (computers phones) at the end of the day. Stops you from "just answering that email" etc.
Another good one is leaving the house (drop off kids, buy breakfast coffee, whatever) end then when you are back home you are "at work". Then repeat when leaving work.
