What Sending After-Hours Emails Does To Your Productivity
Even if you aren't working nights and weekends, the expectation of constant availability can cause you to burn out.
It's 9 p.m. and you suddenly remember that you wanted to ask your employee about an upcoming project. Before you fire off an email, ask yourself, "Is this urgent?" If you're sending the email simply because you don't want to forget, your employee may not know your response expectations, and this can cause stress that negatively impacts your staff's productivity and performance.
