Schedule Do Not Disturb hours

I need my phone to stop buzzing when I’m heads-down. Set Do Not Disturb from 7:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Monday through Friday, and all day Saturday. Make sure urgent mentions from Miguel and my manager, Lena Ortiz, still come through. Confirm the schedule and tell me what I should expect to miss in the overnight summary.

Before I lock down these quiet hours for the team, surface exceptions that matter: which project alerts will be suppressed, which people can still override, and whether on-call rotations are covered. Highlight any channels that will keep sending notifications and any steps for someone to escalate if there’s an outage. Make the controls obvious so I can explain them to engineers tomorrow.

Last night I was pinged at 11:30 p.m. about a nonblocking deploy from Ops. I must decide whether to set Do Not Disturb for 7:30 p.m.–7:00 a.m. and allow overrides for on-call and Elena Park, or leave evenings open and risk more interruptions. What’s the likely trade-off and the best immediate setting to try for two weeks?

Every week I get pulled into late-night threads, losing deep work time and goodwill with my partner. The pattern: I tolerate pings, then scramble responses, then regret interruptions. What simple habit will stop this cycle — what exact DND schedule, exceptions, and a one-sentence team announcement I should make so engineers accept it?
