Beyond fifty hours a week, productivity collapses: being reachable is not the same as being effective.
Closing your computer isn’t enough: without a clear end signal, part of you stays at the office. This module builds real breaks into your evenings, your time off, and even the middle of your workday, then helps you make sure they’re respected, with your team rather than against it.
~20 min at your own paceKey skill: Work-Life Balance and DisconnectingAvailable in FR + ENNo prerequisites
What you’ll take away
- the transition out of the workday telling your brain it’s really over
- radical company measures, such as an inbox that stays empty during your time off
- periods “off the radar” reserved for topics that need deep thought
Who it’s for
Committed people who want to protect their evenings, time off, and focus, and managers who set the tone.
Learning objectives
- Understand what makes disconnecting difficult (internal and external pressure, remote work, culture, notifications) and what it costs.
- Protect evenings and time off with closing rituals, following the example of pioneering organizations.
- Negotiate daytime blocks for deep work, announced to the team, for better work quality and less mental fatigue.
- Build a team culture of disconnecting: scheduled send, permission not to reply, respected time off, a team pact, and an end-of-day check-out.
