Consulting has completely destroyed my sleep schedule. I’m up until 1am finishing decks, then back online by 7am for client calls in another time zone. My Fitbit thinks I’m training for a sleep deprivation study. I try to set boundaries, but there’s always one last edit or just a quick sync. How do you actually protect your downtime in this field?

I would start by trying to be more efficient and getting the work done during work hours. Beyond that, no one is forcing you to work until 1AM; if you are responding to requests made after 5PM, that’s on you for not setting work hour boundaries.

Keep doung it and you will be the team B. After hours just say I will get to it tomorrow as I have plans. They throw a temper tantrum just say they need to find another resource. After that tell them your goldfish is calling and you need yo tend to them and hang the F up. You got this bro. For Halloween forward you just need to be The Man With a Spine and not let Lumberg and the D D you over my bro.

Try to get some help with those decks so you don’t have to work so late.

The president of the company, the original owner, the financial money partner, the third party manager? Everyone seems to have a voice, but the main contact is the underling gathering and offering their own opinion, which strangely seems to be the most on point. How do you handle this type of situation?
