Sophie, you are talking my language! I too often think that my husband needs better boundaries - thankfully he listens to me banging on about the benefits of a boundaried life and has implemented some!!
I am currently figuring out how to run your business in a way that works for me, and would love to hear more from you about boundaries and work.
I'd love to chat to you more about this Jessica! I'm currently creating a quick workbook for folks to use to set and implement boundaries. I'll let you know when it's ready, but if you have any questions let me know 😊
It is really sad that we all feel not taking time off is better in the long run. Before email and text messages became a thing you had someone cover for you at work while you were away. I started my working career as a temp filling in for others. Now we're all expected to be available 24/7 - I wonder what the effects of that will be long term.
I know, it's so sad! I feel bad for him, but it is the situation he's allowed to happen because he *thinks* he shouldn't implement boundaries because he's in charge, and he's responsible. I think it's too much pressure, and certainly not worth the stress of not being able to fully switch off from work. Or perhaps it's easy for me to say that because I love my job 😅
You're so right! It's so important that we understand that while we have built businesses online which our clients/customers can see 24/7, it doesn't entitle them to have our access 24/7, and we can (and should!) implement boundaries. I think this is a huge cause of the burnout we see so often.
I love my job too, but I might not if I couldn’t leave it for a moment and recharge doing completely unrelated things.
I’ve learned to set boundaries early with new clients or customers, and even include office hours in any contracts or agreements. But that only helps as long as I honor my own boundaries, I can’t put this on the clients to not contact me whenever they want to.
Love this exercise. I'd like to build the habit of blocking out time for admin, creative time, and rest.
This is something I'm trying to be strict about - making time for admin, creative time and rest because otherwise I won't do it and it all piles up! 🤯

Oh I wish my husband would implement some! 🤦🏼♀️
