I do a bit of work maybe every other Sunday to get my head on straight. Every single email is Send later because I’m not an arsehole.

Schedule send is your best friend.

Don’t even open your email on weekends. If they know you do and will respond, they’ll keep doing it. Sometimes it’s like training dogs.

Why you checking email on a Saturday? Log off and turn off the notifications from it. They'll live.

Why not? Please explain.

Emailing asking questions on a Saturday infers you expect me to email you back with answers…on a Saturday.

I should have clarified *this isn’t internal* (completely different mindset when others are counting on answers to get shit done on their weekends).

What’s your email address? I’ll make sure not to email you.

That’s why you are getting so many emails 🔥🔥🔥

Simple - don’t answer. Any work I do on the weekend is on me, it’s not my expectation you are going to respond.

To the folks that do delay send - in all support of that, but also if the person on the other end is already working on their weekend to get caught up or ahead,by delaying send until Monday that person now has a bunch of emails coming in Monday morning.

Why don’t you like answering random questions?

Hey so like - newfound reason for my procrastination since I got on Ritalin - a tendency towards "putting things off so I can enjoy the hyperfocus later".
