How do you handle the pressure to always be available without tanking your reputation? I’ve started setting boundaries around my time, but now I’m worried it’s making me look less committed. What are the lines you won't cross for anything?

I used to say yes to everything, attending offshore calls in weird timezones. All of a sudden the client wanted to stop the entire program and we were all rolled off the next day. Take care of yourself first.

If it’s not project-related work, then make sure when you get assigned something, you loop in a 2nd person to help you, so you share the responsibility and set the expectation that the ask isn’t a one-person effort.

If it is project-related, then set the expectation of when you’ll get back to someone when an ask is assigned to you, then gauge the other person’s reaction to determine if you need to reprioritize it.

I found it got easier when I made Manager and had a team I could share the work with.

Any Atomic Habit readers here? I’m brainstorming identity-based habits for two things I want to change:

-I want to bill more hours, so my goal is to become the type of person who bills at least 8 a day
-I want to drink less alcohol, so my goal is to become the type of person who drinks occasionally

Neither of these feel that helpful. Any one have suggestions for other identity-based goals that get at these changes I want to make?

Evening! Dog owners who live in condo rentals downtown.. did you tell your landlord you had a dog?

I don’t want to invite potential conflict by updating my landlord, my lawyer partner says the no pets clause is void in toronto anyway - but I worry about a bad landlord reference if they find out i.e come for repairs.
