Re calling to say I'm emailing you
..... Is he older? Possibly stuck at a time when email was not as instant / ppl didn't have constant access?
Also I'm curious what your original agreement with this guy is?

You'd think so, right? Nope, in his upper 30s.
My original agreement was 4 hours, doesn't really matter what time of day. I set my hours to be in the morning because that's easier for me. I'm salaried, so not clocking in/out, so before I set down my hours, he was calling me all day.
I had to make some boundaries and make it clear I'm not available all day. That happend months ago, but I guess I have to keep reminding him.

Is there some sort of shared calendar? Like via Outlook or Google?
You could put in your availability there?

Be clear and consistent
Kind and firm
Short and sweet
I wouldn’t keep reminding him I would just enforce that which I’ve said
He will get the message
He will get things have changed and you are setting and holding boundaries
Hugs and hatzlocha
