You never actually switch off. Even while you’re having dinner or watching a movie, you’re scrolling through emails, responding to DMs, or “just wrapping up one thing.” Holidays have turned into working vacations, and moving away from your computer is a luxury you can’t afford. The compulsion to always be on call convinces your mind that you’re never done. This habit whittles away your energy, imagination, and serenity. Begin small, disable notifications after work. Your downtime must be sacred, not another work slot. Productivity needs rest, not constant connectivity.
