I mainly end up hiring workaholics. This is a consequence of seeking passionate, smart people who love their work.

So as a manager I mainly find myself telling them to take more leave and asking pointed questions if I receive an email from them far outside hours in their TZ.

But it also means I model the behavior I want, which helps me regulate my own hours. I have youngish kids, and my wife has her own career, so I try to stick to my weekly work hours. And I broadcast that to my team.

I want to work with these people for a decade, so it's a marathon not a sprint.
