At the same time, it can be hard to disconnect after hours or even focus during the day with lots of different apps constantly pinging you. If we’re not careful, this constant connection can inadvertently lead to a culture of working too many hours, pressure to respond immediately to messages, and a feeling of overwhelm.

I’ve always been able to manage a lot on my plate at once, but this time it was causing me to feel like I was trying to run underwater.
