Today (with permission from my manager), I marked myself as offline on teams and set an out of office for my email today but still worked. It was an amazing opportunity to ignore any new requests and catch up on my pending items. I definitely recommend this if you’re running behind and can get manager backing.

That's a good idea and a bold move. I've done things like schedule meetings with myself just so I could get time to focus. I never thought to bring my manager in on the idea.

I really love my workplace for the fact that this isn't only allowed, but encouraged. We all block off an hour or two a day, usually later in the day, to focus completely on our work.

That’s awesome. We love a company that encourages balance

That’s a great idea.
I always do this after annual leave for at least a day! Just to catch up on work before actually saying I’m back. It’s always approved also and it works so well

My manager does that as well, which gave me the idea to do it on a random non-post vacation day

Smart!!!! I may have to try this sometime. My slack and email ping all day long. I know I could some peace to get my work done.

Yes! I have people that will message me even if I’m marked as busy. That’s why I went as far as to turn on an out of office

My anxiety is through the roof I’ve never wanted a job so bad before that I’ve interviewed for. I had an excellent interview with my potential manager. She said out of all the applicants I stood out the most and she loved my resume/conversation , They are moving to meet the team on Wednesday. I just can’t stop thinking about and so worried they are interviewing a lot of people. Helpppp me calm down lol this is torture , honestly
