Ignoring client emails after hours fixed my burnout.
I became more productive by not answering messages outside my set time.

You actually pulled that off (and kept your clients)?

Remember a buddy of mine who does freelance design. She put an auto reply on for evenings and weekends, just like you did. A couple of clients grumbled at first, asking for 'quick' fixes at 10pm, but she held firm. Honestly, @charlieb21, she said it was the best thing she ever did for her sanity and her work got better because she was actually resting. They all stuck with her too, once they got used to the new normal.
