Set boundaries with clients and coworkers from "summary" of The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss

Setting boundaries with clients and coworkers is crucial for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. As tempting as it may be to constantly be available and accommodating, this can lead to burnout and resentment. By clearly defining when you are available and what is and is not acceptable behavior, you can prevent misunderstandings and conflicts. When setting boundaries with clients, it is important to be upfront about your availability and response time. Let them know when they can expect to hear back from you and stick to those guidelines. This will not only help you manage your time more effectively but will also show clients that you value your own time and expertise. With coworkers, it is essential to establish boundaries around communication and collaboration. While it is important to be a team player, it is equally important to set limits on how much time and energy you are willing to devote to work-related tasks outside of regular hours. By clearly communicating these boundaries, you can avoid being taken advantage of and ensure that your personal time is respected.
