I used to panic about every single client email

For my first two years freelancing, I'd drop everything and answer emails instantly, even at 10 PM. I burned out hard in 2022. Now I have a rule: I only check my work inbox at 10 AM and 3 PM, and I use a simple auto-reply to set that expectation. My stress is way down and my focus is way up. How do you guys handle the constant ping of messages without losing your mind?
