As I am not a researcher anymore, I began to pay attention to work-life balance. In addition, aging made me realize its importance.
Inspired by a conversation with Irina, I decided not to read my work-related emails on weekends. Checking emails all the time began when I was a researcher. This style was established partly because my collaborator was a foreign researcher. Also, I believed I had to reply immediately to my boss, who usually stayed in the office longer than me.
Since I started this project, I have learned that I didn’t actually receive many work-related emails on weekends ^^;/
