Disability Tip #2: Avoiding Job Burnout

2.  Unplug!  If you carry a pager or cell phone for work, turn it off once you leave the office.   Most employers do not expect you to be available 24/7 unless it’s in your job description.  Set boundaries and stick to them.  You need and deserve the down time.  This includes e-mail.   Avoid checking work-related e-mail at home, unless you work out of a home office.  If you do, only check it during regular business hours.   Self and family time are important!
