It's Time to Stop Being a Slave to Your Email Inbox
Briefly

Unplugging from work is a vital form of self-care, especially in the post-pandemic era. Many individuals struggle to disconnect from work, with 54% stating they find it difficult to leave work behind on vacation. Increased accessibility through smartphones blurs work/life boundaries. Responding to emails while engaging in personal activities undermines the importance of self-care. Setting boundaries is essential, and individuals have the right to prioritize their well-being without feeling the need to constantly check emails or be available, except in emergencies.
Since 54% of respondents claimed to struggle with disconnecting from work on vacation, people are increasingly pressured to remain accessible even when relaxing.
Our device enables unlimited access to us, but is that what we really want? With increasing connectivity, work and life boundaries have blurred.
Unless you are an emergency responder... why are you willing to interrupt what you are doing to respond? You have every right to unplug and take care of yourself.
