Tbf, I send out emails at the end of the day, right before I leave. I don’t expect an immediate answer though. It just takes me that long to motivate myself to write that 4 line email I’ve been procrastinating all day.
My day ends at 5, especially on Friday.
Right? Oh, you need 5 hours worth of work done 1 hour before the end of the day on Friday? It sounds like you should have planned better. Have a nice weekend!
“Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.”
I find it healthier to mentally check out on Friday at around 10:30 or 11:00.

“I’ll get to this on Monday, thanks!”
I can’t help with the middle days but I have a trick for Friday. Look for something the entire week that can be pushed, for a semi valid reason, to Friday afternoon/evening. Preferably something that’s easy but takes a lot of waiting. That way when someone tries to drop some shit on you last minute you can say " sorry boss I’m already scheduled for x or y priority task, it’ll have to wait until Monday " it doesn’t always work, especially if your boss is a fucking Slave Driver. But it has saved me a few times.
Right now I have a ticket scheduled for around 3:30 that should keep me “busy” until 5.
smart
This is why I only work 32h and take Fridays off.
I work 36 hours, so Friday is only until lunch. So far, it was always possible to start the weekend directly after the lunch break. (:
wow that sucks, good luck though
