Stop answering emails after 6pm. Folks began to get the hint after a while.

Ps the folks fawning over WD is hilarious. If you like constant layoff threats hovering over your day-to-day, sure DSS is ok. But they can get away with a lot when you produce a product with a cult following, and that includes the labor that staffs it. ( which is why OP is working late ;) )

That's a dream employer you got right there. Been basing all my projects and desertions on Disney I kinda know what it must be like.

Here's a gentle reminder on the basics I follow
1. Maintain a work list daily and cross off all the work you did during the day (kinda helps to tell yourself that you did clear off quite a bit during the day)
2. Try not to think of the next days work till you get there and start.
3. If it's keeping you up at night, might as well get it off the plate even if it beyond your working hours.. because peace of mind matters at home.
4. Try not make other people's half baked work your problem. If it's not complete, return it to them and give yourself a fresh deadline
5. Prioritize finishing your work over helping others with their work.
6. If things are getting out of control, raise it up with your manager and ask for help before it gets out of control.
7. If paper work for other departments take up alot of time, try suggesting a streamlined process or calculate the time into your days work.
8. Try to finish today's tasks today itself, coz you don't know how messed up tomorrow is going to be.

Does any of this help?
