Go a step further by giving people specific times--a "WHEN"--of the day when you check your emails. @anonymous That's very sad to hear! You do not need to be scared of your boss. You just needs to communicate and establish expectations with them clearly. I've be talking about this more and more as we get closer to the release of my next book, "Invaluable: The Secret to Becoming Irreplaceable." @Gordon
That’s a great first step. Go a step further by giving people specific times–a “WHEN”–of the day
when you check your emails.

You do not need to be scared of your boss. You just needs to communicate and establish expectations with them clearly. I’ve be talking about this more and more as we get closer to the release of my next book, “Invaluable: The Secret to Becoming Irreplaceable.”

That sets an expectation, which I was surprised to find out that people actually noticed. -Gordon My email has a note on the bottom which says, “I check email twice per day; if your matter is urgent, please call.” That sets an expectation, which I was surprised to find out that people actually noticed. -Gordon

As a result,my working hours would always be extended. Not only that, my personal life was also affected because I cant do other things anymore because I am very exhausted from work. I wish I have seen this clip and tried Dave's tips. But I have resigned. I had also experienced this situation before. As a result,my working hours would always be extended.
