To avoid checking by habit, I simply uninstall the app entirely during my time off.

Do you have to, or FOMO?

If I were you I'd try to add some friction to that process. Make it harder to access work stuff during vacation, it should help to decrease the bad habit.

Put your phone your pocket, your laptop in a bag. put your bag on and go swimming. Oh no, guess you've got to spend all holiday offline.

Funny, I always grew to like the damn app more when I was using it on vacation. Usually just to reread some old thread or make sure I didn’t miss something. Now I don’t use it at all however, and at least that part of my life is going nicely.

There are to many damn chat apps, someone make a memey ffs.

Do you?
