Today, being physically away from the workplace does not mean that we necessarily are changing to another environment or leaving our work tasks behind in psychological terms. This paper presents a review of the literature that identifies the effects that cause a blurring of the line between work and leisure. It combines theories from the fields of Informatics, Psychology and Work Science. The results show that people express the need for a balance between work and leisure but are less able to find or create ways of allowing the necessary time for recovery. Presented are some initial suggestions on how to design ICT in order to separate work and leisure activities.
