I can suggest one easy way to develop a firm, clear boundary between work and life in the evening. Join a class or social club that requires you to be physically present someplace at a fixed time in the evening, preferably around six PM. Commit to a 100% attendance record for a month, and see how you now have a gainful activity and a great work-life balance shaping up.
I did this and it gave me headaches because I have to log off in the middle of doing something that's almost done. And then I'd spend the next 3 hours thinking about it. Being grumpy and non-present did not improve work-life balance.

I recommend Jiu Jitsu.
