I believe smartphones may have done worse damage. Now I am on call any time all the time! Goodbye work life balance.

  Hard agree. I can’t even count the hour increase that has come from my clients having the ability to text 24/7/365 (well, I could go count my billable hours for the last 8 years, but I don’t want to). The only upside is that clients seem more than willing to pay for the time, and at an increased rate for after hours communication. But having my vacation interrupted is almost not worth the revenue increase.

  On one job I worked myself to the point of having panic attacks from a mere push notification. Took a few months to recover. Trying not to have anything work related on my phone ever since unless I’m confident it won’t be overused.
