Getting anything that needs to be done EOD when we are alrighty at the end of day, never made sense to me. If I can reasonably get it done, and it’s a one-off, great. However, it can become a quick pattern if you start to do it every time.
My thoughts too. Especially when I’ve checked off everything for my day and am just buttoning things up before leaving!
Prioritize and be realistic. If there's something that really is an emergency and needs to get done, take care of it. That should be an extreme rarity. If someone is routinely sending you outlandish asks at 4:30, acknowledge receipt and then give them a timeline on when you expect it to be completed. It's not always easy, but you have to say no to these people. You shouldn't have to sacrifice your mental health because of their poor planning.
That’s the thing if it’s a task too big I’ll usually ask if it can be done the next day rather than right at that moment, a lot of the time it’s fine but it’s still a stressful email to get.
I hate this too, those projects from the ground up just need to be better managed. Better communication with departments too. If there’s a chance there’s an urgent request, people definitely need to be aware of that way before hand
