225. Maintaining Boundaries

Sarah: Hey Alex, how's everything going with your new job?


Alex: It's been good, Sarah, but I've been struggling a bit with balancing work and personal time. I feel like I'm always connected to work even when I'm supposed to be off.


Sarah: I totally get that. It's important to set boundaries between work and personal life. Have you tried any strategies to disconnect?


Alex: Not really. I've been checking emails even late at night, and it's starting to take a toll on me.


Sarah: You should definitely try some strategies to help you disconnect. For example, try setting specific work hours and sticking to them. Once your workday is over, avoid checking emails or answering work calls.


Alex: That sounds like a good idea. I think I need to be more disciplined about it. How do you manage to disconnect from work?


Sarah: I make sure to have designated relaxation time. I enjoy hobbies like painting and reading, and I make sure to do them without any interruptions from work.


Alex: That makes sense. I need to find some hobbies too. Thanks for the advice, Sarah. I'll start implementing these strategies right away.


Sarah: No problem, Alex. Remember, it's important to prioritize your well-being and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
