What boundaries have you set with teams and with clients that have helped you maintain sanity? How have they slowed or assisted your career?

I don’t respond to or carry my work phone when I am taking breaks - usually for meals and working out. Most of my team tries to do the same and generally respect the boundaries. I guess this is pandemic specific. Generally don’t carry my work phone or respond to anything after Friday @ 3pm (I will check a few times but won’t respond unless someone is having a meltdown which also almost never happens since I have always had these boundaries).
