  • Communicate Clearly: Use "I" statements to express your needs and boundaries.

  • Learn to Say No: Politely decline tasks or meetings that do not align with your priorities or capacity.

  • Set Work Hours: Stick to your designated work hours and avoid responding to work communications outside of them.

  • Take Breaks: Ensure you take regular breaks to recharge during work hours.

  • Prioritize Tasks: Focus on the most important tasks and delegate when necessary.

  • Use Technology Wisely: Set up "do not disturb" modes on devices during focused work periods.

  • Create a Dedicated Workspace: If working from home, establish a specific area for work to maintain a balance.

  • Set Consequences: Be prepared to enforce consequences if boundaries are repeatedly violated.

  • Practice Self-Care: Engage in activities outside of work that help you relax and maintain well-being.

  • Be Consistent: Consistently uphold your boundaries to establish respect and understanding.
