Work Boundaries Protect Family and Relationship

Looking forward to going home after each workday is wonderful to have. Perfect family life, good children who respect you. Peace in the relationship and a tasty dinner.

It’s not always a sunny day. There are times when you want to stay away from the same person or people to figure out why they behave in a way that shatters you & you go out to gather yourself in peace.

When share your work problems at home you think that your family members are your sounding board. You create the illusion for yourself. They are there for you but not as a sounding board to listen to your daily work problems. You are their role model, not a problem model. Consequences of “sharing work problems at home” come back not on the same day but later when you least accepted. Lowering your value by yourself has a devastating effect on family life and on important relationships.

Set boundaries not to share your personal work problems with your family and with the important person in your life. Share Your Problems with your coach, trainer or good colleague / in groups.

This simple habit of keeping your work problem in the work context saves your family life and important relationships.

Are there any exceptions to this? Of course, there is.

Let me know in the comments if you have already set those boundaries to protect your family life and relationships

Regular Breaks Increase Productivity By an Extra Twenty-Five Percent

I was sitting in my office and working on my present goal. I worked hard to meet my deadline and wanted to complete the task without straining myself physically and mentally.

My arms were swollen, my eyes were dried up, my brain could not think more and I heard a voice from within shout at me “Stop”. So, I did and ended up in rest for a week. While resting, I begin to trace back my successful days at work. I used to work in the chunk of 45 minutes at a time and then break for 10 minutes.
