Thanks to global events that have affected everyone on the planet, a lot of us are now working from home. This has benefits, unless you really enjoy your commute, but it also makes it harder to maintain boundaries between work and everything else.
We're talking about notifications outside of office hours. You're never going to escape your job if you keep an eye out for these types of events.
At best, you're going to find your leisure and relaxation time interrupted by distraction; at worst, they're going to pull you into completing a task or following up on a job that can wait until tomorrow or after the weekend. You don't know what you're missing if you're not getting notifications. Here is how to set it up.
You have settings inside your apps.
Some apps allow you to limit notifications.

It's likely that the apps you use most often for work have some configuration options of their own to ensure they're quiet at certain times of the day. You might not have to worry about other settings if you set up some of your key apps this way.
For example, take slack. Click your profile picture in the top right corner and choose Preferences. You can allow notifications to only be allowed during certain hours in the day under the Notification schedule settings on the Notifications tab. Specific times can be set for different days.
Maybe your place of work prefers Microsoft Teams. You can change which channels you get notifications on and which devices notifications are sent to, but you can't set working hours in Teams. From the desktop interface, go to settings and more, and then to Notifications.
