Thanks pete-puma. YES- boundaries do seem to be key. I need a job with an automatic shut-off valve. I used to get up in the morning and check my e-mails at like 6 am- even though I knew no one could possibly be sending me anything at that hour. Trouble is I get so intense- when I finally get to the point where I can concentrate (which take enormous effort) I become totally fixated to the point that the office could catch fire and I wouldn’t notice. And yeah- a lot of bad bosses take advantage of that energy and keep loading on the work- and I keep taking it until I’m literally sick!!!
