Do you….

• Find yourself on your computer scrolling, “pretend working” sometimes?
• Often think or stress about your business when you’re with family or friends or other times you’re technically supposed to be unplugged?
• Work during vacations?

The answer is yes. Because it’s yes for all of us sometimes.

It’s not wrong, and you’re not a bad person or business owner if you do these things.

And also?

These kinds of things are THE top contributors to burnout. It’s not about doing too much work - it’s about loose or non-existent boundaries, including boundaries around
when you let yourself think or worry about your business.

This habit is a hard one to break.

On today’s episode of The Simple Online Business podcast I talk about mental boundaries - what they are, why they matter, and most importantly - actual tips and tools to help you establish them.

YOU'LL LEARN:

• Why there is a need for intentional time dedicated to work and non-work activities
• The importance of mental boundaries in preventing burnout and maintaining work-life balance
• How to control your thoughts about work during non-work hours
• How to find activities that help you relax and unwind from work and why it’s important
