Setting boundaries in the workplace is essential for maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Boundaries are guidelines implemented to establish what's acceptable and what's not acceptable to you in regard to work. Because everyone has different priorities and needs, boundaries will vary from person to person.

If you’re a full-time employee, you’ve likely been given a certain amount of paid time off as a part of your benefits package. Unfortunately, many professionals struggle to enjoy this benefit because they never disconnect from work truly. Instead, they spend their paid time off checking emails, responding to instant messages, and actively working on upcoming presentations. It’s no wonder so many professionals identify as being affected by burnout.
