Starting to miss the days where Slack didn’t exist so that when I was out of the office it actually felt like I was out of the office. I silence my notifications but end up getting nervous and checking them anyway.

Start working on discipline on your end. You can't change them, or their actions on Slack. You can force yourself to stick to the boundaries that you set or evaluate and implement new ones if they aren't working. It's frustrating because you aren't creating the problem, but you can be your own solution.

You have to set up those boundaries physically and mentally. There's no one responsible for this other than you

It's all about setting boundaries and being disciplined. Everyone is entitled to take time away from work. Sounds like you need to be a little stricter with yourself.

I delete it off my phone on the weekend and redownload it during the weekday - made a world of difference!

I struggle with this too. I can never not check my email or just ignore my phone. It has been a really hard habit to break.

Same. Even just a glimpse and it's at the back of my head. I kind of envy those who can compartmentalize work from life outside work and only accesses the former when they have to.

I used to love this app so much. Now it feels like I set my favorite song as alarm and is now detested by its sound.

I love teaching art but am having to teach remotely to 1150 kids, k - 5. Have about 54 amazing elementary art teachers in my district that share SO much! I could retire (34 yrs), but just don’t want to because I love what I do! Feeling like my students aren’t getting what they should because I am struggling with Zoom, Microsoft, safe YouTube, bitmoji, embedding, downloads, editing, etc. Anyone else feeling this way?

Weekend thought as many of us watch our portfolios bleed away value as the market hit all time highs: stick with it. This is a very difficult time in the market so try to figure out what’s not working and fix it. Stick with your process while trying to improve it. That should you you in the best place to manage risk now and be positioned to capture new opportunities in the coming weeks and months. Discipline, execution, and patience are key sources of alpha. Best of luck.
