Low Power Mode...
summary
Low Power Mode translates into concrete habits: ruthlessly prioritize by asking “how should I prioritize this with regards to my existing work,” drop everything nonessential, and remove work notifications from personal devices (work email off on weekends). Built a Chrome extension to remind teammates to be allies. Schedule restorative practices like put time on your calendar for creative outlets, tweak pager settings so pages wake without mass notifications, and take true vacation time while refusing to be reachable.
