How do I set boundaries between work and personal life?
Work, Stress & Burnout
Set work-life boundaries by establishing clear start and stop times, creating physical separation, and communicating your availability to others.
Setting work-life Personal boundaries requires intentional effort, especially in our always-connected world. Establish clear start and stop times for work and stick to them. Create physical separation by having a designated workspace if possible, and 'close' it at the end of the day. Turn off work notifications after hours and resist the urge to check emails. Communicate your availability to colleagues and supervisors - let them know when you're not available for non-emergency work matters. Use your vacation time and truly disconnect. Remember that Personal boundaries aren't selfish - they help you be more productive and present in all areas of your life.
