What are you talking about? Just leave the phone at home and go outside. Tell your boss you don’t have coverage. There’s nothing to mourn here maybe besides your lack of really easy self discipline and frankly I’m having a hard time empathizing with or understanding it.

Better yet, tell your boss (and everyone else) you check for texts twice a day, and emails once a day, and respond with similar timeframes. If it's urgent, well, they know where you are. They can come and see you.

They'll whinge at you for living in the 20th Century, but your stress levels will be down.

Embrace the fact that no-one is irreplaceable, and train your understudies.

If I'm on vacation, I'll tell my boss I'm on vacation. Maybe I'll skim work emails and even handle ones when I can do so quickly but I'm under no obligation to do so.
