Healthy Time Boundaries

5/6/2020

When people think of having healthy boundaries, they might think of physical or emotional ones. Time boundaries are often worth considering and looking at, too.
 
A common problem people seem to be having in quarantine is establishing healthy time boundaries within this surreal situation. Many people find themselves working harder and longer hours from home, without taking actual lunch breaks each day. Many are answering work emails on the weekend now, because they may feel there is an unstated expectation that no one has any other plans now.
 
It’s important to ask yourself, “What is reasonable in terms of time requests?” Is it reasonable to suddenly not require a lunch break or to work after hours a lot more regularly? Sometimes, it just might depend on the specific situation, such as, it’s a rare request because of a deadline. Other times, it’s possible that you might need to establish clearer time boundaries with yourself and others, and to be a little easier on yourself in this situation. Mental recharge time is important, too, for your own body, mood and energy level.
 
Think about your time boundaries and expectations lately. Do you see any areas that might need shifting to more positive, healthy patterns?
