compartmentalisation
Dividing into sections
Compartmentalisation is the British spelling of compartmentalization—the practice of separating things into distinct sections or categories.
In psychology, it describes mentally isolating conflicting beliefs, emotions, or aspects of life to avoid discomfort: His compartmentalisation of work and family kept him sane.
