Doing business nowadays without a cellphone? Living a very private life? I can't imagine it anymore.
A journalist explained it very well: For the average working person, there's no greater feeling than powering down your computer and kissing goodbye to your work emails for the day. If we're lucky enough to disconnect from the job on evenings and weekends, we're overjoyed to leave work emails and the stress that comes with it in the office.
But experts say we're increasingly failing to do so, instead bringing the burden home with us and dealing with emails during our free time. Unsurprisingly, this routine has some serious consequences.
Working abnormal or long hours has long been linked with depression (抑郁症), anxiety and even heart disease. In addition, the importance of weekend recovery has also been linked with weekly job performance and personal initiative (主动性). And further research showed psychological detachment (脱离) during offwork time reduced emotional exhaustion caused by high job demands and helped people stay engaged.
So, if we know all this, it begs the question: Why are we still letting work bother our precious weekend? According to a professor of Organisational School, the recent trend even spills into the way we access our work communications and projects.
“Today,” says the professor, “work emails are just a tap of a smartphone away.” “You don't carry your laptop around when you're out to dinner, but you do carry your mobile phone,” he says. “The smartphone does not make up for what is lost.” So delete your work email account from your inbox (收件箱), and leave the worries until Monday.
