Setting boundaries at work

Setting boundaries at work is essential for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. It requires consciously evaluating whether certain tasks or commitments are necessary and align with your personal schedule and priorities. By communicating your needs to your manager and being clear about what you can accommodate, you can prevent overextending yourself. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but setting boundaries allows you to prioritize self-care and avoid burnout.
