Work Life Balance (or lack thereof) [N/A]

As a salaried HR professional, I struggle to maintain a work life balance. I’ve turned off my email and teams notifications on my phone, but I can’t stop thinking about the ongoing investigations, workload, projects, etc and feeling guilty for enjoying my personal time while they’re still pending. It feels like the work is never “done” and if something pops up that requires immediate attention, I’m expected to stay until it’s resolved. Additionally, I support locations that are open 24 hours, which makes me feel obligated to giving support around the clock. I know I should set more boundaries- but what is the best, professional way to do so? Does anyone else feel this way?
