The Boundary-Setting Worksheet helps you draw clear lines between your work and personal life. It’s like drawing a map of what’s okay and what’s not OK in your daily routine.
Write down a boundary you want to set each day. For example, “No work emails after 6 PM.”
You mark whether you kept that boundary or not. This helps you see how well you’re doing.
At the end of the week, you engage in a learning process by reflecting on how many boundaries you kept. You consider which ones were most effective and which ones were challenging to maintain.
There’s also a monthly check-in. Here, you see how well you did overall and plan new boundaries for next month.
This worksheet helps you gradually build better habits. It shows you where you need to be firmer with your limits.
Using this tool can reassure you that your time and energy are protected. It’s a great way to ensure your 20-hour work week doesn’t encroach on your personal time.
