Can't stop checking email at 9pm
I know I should put the phone down but there's always that one more thing. Kid goes to bed at 8, I tell myself I'll just relax, then I'm scrolling through messages until midnight. Waking up exhausted. Wife is pissed because I'm grumpy and tired all the time. This is my own problem right? Like nobody is making me do this. How do you guys actually set boundaries with yourselves?
That hour after bedtime is supposed to be your reset though. If you're spending it on email you're just extending work day into family time, just silently. Set a hard cutoff or you'll burn out.
