🎨 CultureToday's Tip
France has a legal "right to disconnect." Employers cannot expect email responses outside work hours. The weekend is not an extension of the work week. It belongs to you. This boundary is cultural before it is legal.
Try This
Set one boundary this weekend: no work email after 6pm Friday until Monday morning. Tell anyone who needs to know. Then actually do it. The French did not wait for a law to do this. They simply decided their time was theirs.
Curated Pick
Our Recommendation
A classic analog alarm clock. Remove the phone from your bedroom entirely. The French approach to weekends starts with how you wake up.
