I definitely understand this point! Due to Covid and working from home I think it's more important than ever to have separate devices from work and personal. As a blind person this can be a bit challenging because I use my personal phone to test things at work as well as my personal devices sometimes just because testing is very personal. That all being said I was definitely maxing myself out because I would open up Mail on my iPhone and see a bunch of work related emails and just answer them on my time off I understand if there's a toggle where I can turn mail off or even view by inbox but I just like doing everything at once where are my Mac and my iPad I tend to just use my personal emails so I'm not bombarded with my work stuff there and it's made a world of difference! I think this is a great conversation! And a good topic to think about!
