Set Defined Office Hours: Customize your hours to align with your client base while ensuring personal time. Consistency is key—consider working from 10 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Friday.
Communicate Clearly: Use email signatures, onboarding processes, and automated responses to set expectations with clients about your availability.
