In my last position, I had absolutely no problem, shutting down email or texts. Almost everyone on my team except my boss — the agency owner — was respectful of my desire to stay unconnected. These days I’m solo. And I basically just send a quick email to clients and partners and say “I’m unavailable tomorrow.” Or “I’m unavailable next week.” And it’s no problem whatsoever. As my brother-in-law used to say “guilt is for the weak.” It’s your life. Don’t live it for other people.

Yay “freedom.”
