Good tips, quite important and often forgotten. For me the last 3 are the most important ones, notifications, sleep and exercice.
Notifications is not usually talked about, but is quite important too. I mute all my channels and take a look at them once or twice a day. My team can also get a hang on me via other channels that I don't mute. But we only use them in case of emergencies.
Notifications for management is a hard balance (I’ve made an assumption here that your team reports to you, still valid if wrong though). When I managed people I accepted my job was essentially to be interrupted and so didn’t mute anything that could hinder my reports ability to get work done. I think the concept of a manager who also need long blocks of time without interruptions (ie. they are still expected to code) is flawed. As a manager you are there to facilitate and so the trade off for being a available is that coding output will be zero to avoid the burnout scenario
You've asumed correctly yes, I'm reported my our overall manager. I'm just in charged of managing the technical aspect of both web and mobile front-ends. And I agree and understand everything you said, even though I'm not a manager and don't want to be.
I'm usually not contacted on the daily, though I have ways of doing so for any important things. We usually have 1-2 meetings a week, where we discuss most stuff. Then we comunicate in a async way for the rest of the time (we're mostly all working remote, and with different schedules) either via github or some other channels.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
