Make a t-chart. On one side write, “I feel good about my work when.” On the other side, write, “I feel stressed about work when.” Take a look at the two lists and see what parallels you can draw. The boundaries you need to set are somewhere in those two lists, whether they are boundaries for use of social media, how much time you devote to client work versus personal projects, or how much time off you need to schedule for yourself. by Anna Brones from blog.bigcartel.com Feelings, Writing, I Feel Good, Boundaries, Feel Good, Fuel
