How to stop Macbook's syncing desktop files

I have 2 macbooks...one for work and one for personal use. I use the same apple ID for both. Somehow...probably my fault, everything on my work computer's desktop is on my personal coomputer's desktop. How can I stop my work computer from syncing?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

Go to System Preferences/iCloud/iCloud Drive/Options (Apple ID/iCloud Drive/Options for Catalina) and turn off Documents and Desktop syncing. Check both computers.
