Early in my career I thought success meant saying yes to everything. After missing a close friend’s wedding for work, I realized I needed better boundaries, so now I treat personal time like any other important meeting, and I’m more effective because of it. How do you decide what’s non-negotiable in your own work-life balance?

I started getting horrible mouth sores from stress a few years ago, and that has kind of become my boundary determiner. If anything is making me so stressed my mouth starts hurting, it’s too much stress and I need to cut back

Oh god yeah when it becomes physical that’s a definite indicator to slow down

My personal life comes before my job. That’s the balance and that’s the boundary. I don’t miss family events, health appointments, vacations, or work when I’m sick and I don’t look at respond to teams chats or emails outside of work hours. No one has my cell phone number.

I buy things I don’t need and don’t know how to fix it. I always blamed it on “drunk buying” but I’ve been sober for 355 days and it persists. I know I buy things in an effort to fill a void and try to feel something so I buy “things” but it doesn’t help and I know it. Any thoughts or suggestions?
