You comment is very interesting to me, because I'm totally the opposite. Mind if I ask you a couple of things? I don't mean to critique, I'm just very curious because... well, it's literally the opposite of what I'm doing.

Do you get security notifications? I personally made sure to use my primary account as a reset for everything exactly because I don't want to miss important notifications.

Do you travel relatively often and what do you do in those cases? Like can you completely turn off working?

Yes, to my daily-use accounts. I don't forward mail from my master account so that my daily-use accounts have little to no mail from it (to keep it obscure).

Yup, I travel a lot, and I certainly do turn off work. When I'm at work, I don't work on my personal projects, and when I'm off work I don't work for an employer.

When I do travel and need to work remotely, I take two laptops: one for myself & one for my work.
