You’re still working late not because you lack motivation or discipline, but because the workday is built around constant interruptions and urgency. When everything feels immediate, it pulls you into a reaction cycle that pushes real leadership work to nights and weekends.
The key shift is learning to separate true emergencies from noise, setting clear decision rules for what can wait, and anchoring your day around a few priorities before the building takes over. Ending the day intentionally—rather than when everything is finished—helps break the habit of carrying work home.
Lasting change comes from adjusting both structure and mindset, so leaving on time becomes part of how you lead, not something you feel guilty about.
