Key Takeaways:
Setting boundaries is crucial for thriving personally and professionally.
Women are often socialized to be givers and struggle with saying no and putting themselves first.
Boundaries can extend to various aspects of life, including sleep, work calendar, and personal preferences.
Communicating boundaries effectively involves aligning them with values and goals and finding alternative solutions.
Saying no is a complete sentence and can be done kindly and without damaging relationships. Not all jobs can be done in a 40-hour week, and productivity declines after a certain point. Taking breaks and time off is crucial for long-term productivity.
It's important to ask yourself and the meeting host if a meeting is necessary and if there is an agenda before accepting the invitation.
Companies can set boundaries around meetings, such as having no meeting days or requiring specific criteria for inviting people.
Energy management is key to maintaining boundaries, and it involves checking in with yourself and making decisions based on how you feel and what aligns with your goals.
Communicate boundaries with kindness and clarity, and let go of other people's reactions and emotions.
