• Snooze notifications from Slack and work emails when your workday is done, and don't accept work calls after a certain hour.
• Set up automatic responses to any communication to say when you'll be available next to respond.

Golden hours are essentially our best times of day for deep thinking, creative thinking, and strategic thinking.

Don't let work eat up all those hours with administrative tasks or things that don't rise to the level of importance on that priority list above.

Vacation is supposed to be time away from work.

So make sure you get that.

If you've been a 24/7 worker, you may need to reeducate your team and your supervisor about when you're available.

Say simply, “I won’t be available after 7 p.m., but will be able to get back to you first thing in the morning."

If you receive pushback, ask for specifics about why that's an issue.

If your workplace isn't inspiring a lot of loyalty or engagement from you, it might be time to look for your next big thing-especially right now, when it's still a job seeker's market.
