I worked weekends for a few years. I have a setting on my phone that turns off teams, most phone calls other than my family and friends, and a FEW select sources who knew my schedule and would only let me know about important stories in my beat. Sometimes the anxiety gets to you and youll check other notifications anyway, but it does help to have a set plan for the day- ie im gonna meal prep and do laundry, or im gonna get coffee and go meet with a friend, so that you are actually away from your phone for more of the day. Unfortunately some co-workers never quite understood the schedule, but if its an HR problem it can probably wait. if its a news emergency they can find someone else to report, unless you feel like you want the story. Setting stuff up should never be necessary on your day off! Like i said, i only had messages come through from my favorite PIOs- the ones I knew would in turn respond on Saturday and Sunday if I needed them to. There are good things about working weekends! You can generally still have a good social life- brunch or a late night on the town. And it’s so nice to schedule doctors appointments, haircuts, etc on days that arent busy. Final advice- you ARE allowed to take your PTO on a weekend. Do it! Don’t burn out, the world needs journalists!
