Do Not Reward Chaos with Unlimited Availability

When a workplace runs on constant emergencies, the people who answer every late-night message and drop everything on weekends become the load-bearing walls of a broken system. Your responsiveness trains others to expect it, and soon chaos becomes the default because someone always catches the ball. Set clear boundaries around your time. Respond during working hours, batch your replies, and let non-urgent fires burn long enough for the organization to feel the pain and fix the process instead of relying on your heroics.
