If I start my day at 7am, what time can I truly stop working?!
I mean work will never end, I know that but there needs to be a time where I should be rightly call it a day and not feel guilty about having a gazillion things left undone. Trying to work on myself, boundaries, reducing anxiety and I was thinking about it today

Take a morning coffee break, break for lunch, afternoon water break, then call it a day at 5:00. If you are diligently working between 7-5, with maybe 2 hours total of breaks between the above and restroom, that is a completely reasonable day.

Agree.

My schedule is always 7 to 5 core hours you can call me anytime in there good luck before or after. If it’s not on my calendar I won’t show up or answer

7-7 core hours. 2 30 minute breaks in there

I remember feeling this way, when I worked at Accenture. Thank God I left.

I would play around with your schedule and find out if starting your day at 7am is best for you. If you’re getting off work later than 5pm, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed at the end of the day if you’re doing that since that’s already 10+ hours.

I would either sleep in and start your day with your first actual scheduled meeting (e.g. 9am or later), or end your workday early.

Change my mind: the talk around things shifting to a 'new normal' is overblown. Society's collective conscience is too short-term to enact massive changes to things we are comfortable (e.g., global warming). Yes, it will take awhile for offices to open back up, flights to be full, etc., but within 1-2 years things willbe mostly back to what they are like now and this massive structural shift will have never materialized.
