The “Friday Disconnect” on my calendar is my secret weapon to workplace sanity.

When I was at Deloitte I often had my 45 hours by Thursday so I just took Fridays off without taking PTO. Just blocked my calendar and disappeared. The leadership did not want me to bill more than 45 so they essentially told me to do that 😁
