PSA: My months-long struggle with after-hours email checks has officially ended
I mean, for what felt like forever, I was glued to my inbox well past dinner, thinking I needed to be always on. It took me almost half a year to admit that this habit was seriously messing with my downtime. Idk, maybe it's just me, but I started using a simple rule: no work apps on my phone after 6 PM. At first, it was tough, and I kept sneaking peeks, but I stuck with it patiently. Now, after all that time, I actually enjoy my evenings without that constant ping anxiety. It's a tiny milestone, but finally disconnecting feels like a massive win for my remote work life.
