During my downtime, I set alarms on my phone. They're labeled like "check email now" or "open calendar now". If I'm not notified about these things, then I don't even think twice about checking up on them. It helps me be more organized.
That's helpful, thanks. It's kind of the opposite of how I'm living now. At the moment, I have alarms for personal things, but all of the other spaces get filled up with work. Not really how I want to continue living.
Don't open your work apps on the weekend. If you reply to messages then you set the precedent that you work during your PTO. You're on PTO. Don't check your email!!! It's easy. Just don't open it! The people will wait. You know you'd have to wait for other people if they were on PTO. They can wait. They will survive. If it is urgent, in your absence they can contact the person in your OOO reply that you designate.
It's such a challenge, but this is helpful. Designating someone else for them to contact in my OOO email is a great idea because then I won't be worried about them having to wait. I might have to let go of worrying *how* someone else will handle it. Maybe I also need to schedule a therapy appointment, it seems, lol
Turn off notifications for work-related apps or emails on your phone or laptop. This should keep you from checking them during your leave period.
Before you go on leave, try to wrap up any loose ends and complete any tasks. This will give you peace of mind and allow you to fully switch off from work while you are away.
Put up an out-of-office message in your email and voicemail to indicate that you are on leave and will be unavailable. This will certainly help you in managing expectations and reducing the quantity of notifications you get.
