Finding Time With Two More Time Boundary Tips

Posted on August 11, 2008, under Time Boundaries.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are feeling energized and refreshed as you start a new week.

Is it going to be a busy one? Finding Time isn’t always easy, and without good time boundaries, it can feel impossible. Time boundaries allow you to meet your goals, address your priorities, and live your values!

Last time, we looked at some tips to help you get more comfortable with setting time boundaries. Tip #3 involved visualizing people’s responses to your boundary.

Let’s build on that with two more tips for finding time:

Out of your visualization work, develop a script of what you will say if someone challenges a boundary you have set. Practice this script before you actually need it. Keep adding to it, as you learn what works with different co-workers, family members, and friends.

If you feel ambivalent about the boundary you wish to set, have a dialogue with yourself to resolve your conflict before discussing it with others. Once you’re clear and settled, others will sense your determination. This will diminish their incentive to ‘test’ your boundary.

As you practice and develop your boundary-setting skills, drop me a line and let me know how it’s going!
