Today I was coming off a lovely 2 week vacation (my first break for more than a week in several years) but on Friday I got a Monday morning meeting invite set for 30 minutes before I usually start for the day. It was just a little taste of work crap to make sure the office was on my mind all weekend.

My strategy is to not look at work emails outside work time.
You can neither attend nor be stressed about a meeting that occurs earlier than you start work, if you don't know it exists.
-
I have a minimum amount of availability I have to maintain because servers and network hardware crashes don't care about holidays.
-
That's what oncall rotations are for. If you're not oncall, don't be available outside your regular working hours
-
When servers go down everyone is on call. Both of us.

My first tech job was somewhere like that.
Never again.

This is how my job is. If something goes horribly wrong after hours we get a text, but if I'm not at home doing nothing already then it has to wait and I'll get to it when I can, and that's expected.
In exchange we get to sort of do what we want and leave early whenever. Yesterday I took off at lunch and went sledding with the family. I only ever use my PTO for actual vacations or days where I'll be completely unavailable.
I personally love it, I would love on call pay too but that freedom to take my son sledding on a snow day without having to lose pay is incredible. There's only ever been 1 emergency issue in the past 2 years that I've had to hop on after hours to take care of.
