Do you:

·       check work emails after your work hours?

·       respond to client phone calls, texts or emails when you are on sick leave, holidays or after hours?

·       respond to client emails in times you have stated that you would not be available?

·       ignore alerts that ask you to update privacy settings on your Facebook account?

·       friend clients on social media?

·       find it hard to go ‘off the grid’ for a few hours at least every month?
