I don't tend to close early ever. If I have an appointment during business hours or if I wanted to leave on Friday for a vacations, even if just a weekend break (like that will ever happen), then I still wouldn't close early.

I try and behave like I would if I was an employee in terms of business hours. If I needed time during the week off, I'd have to book it and take it as leave. So, that's what I do here too.

I have a hospital appointment on 29th Jan and so all my parents know that I am closed that day and it will come out of my annual personal days.
