Allowing your job to bleed into your personal time is an incredibly easy trap to fall into if you aren't careful. In this episode of the World at Work podcast, Tim Dyck, the founder of Best Culture Solutions, discusses the exhausting reality of the modern 24-hour workday.

We dive into a growing trend among younger workers who are carrying two separate phones. Their goal is to establish clear boundaries between their professional and personal lives. Tim shares why the sheer volume of communication channels, from WhatsApp and Instagram DMs to text messages, creates overwhelming anxiety and burnout for employees who feel pressured to reply instantly.

There are a number of solutions for leaders and teams to address this, including establishing structural on-call schedules, utilizing "schedule send" email features, and adopting clear response-time standards. Turn off your notifications and learn how to reclaim your time.
