Title: Turning work phone off after work and on weekends.
Post by: Crystal-clear on October 05, 2019, 10:33:35 pm

There is a point I think you don't want work to take over your life.... And I've had enough of the phone ringing at unsociable times at night and weekends skip me ..how much do I owe..can I cancel please..water on windows... hi can you clean my windows tomorrow messages that come at midnight.
Does anyone else do this?

As soon as it’s 5-30 or I’ve texted any gate customers it’s turned off
Then Friday afternoon stays off till Monday

This is why I have used 2 mobiles since day 1

I ignore anything after 6pm on weekdays.

I ignore all calls and texts on the weekends, leave them until Monday.

I've previously had phone calls and texts late in the evening.
All I do now is set my mobile on "quiet hours" from 8pm to 7am and just allow selected numbers to get through (friends and family).
