Are you looking to create more work boundaries for yourself in your day-to-day work?

Do you want some practical tips to help you keep your time and energy in-check and under control?

As an entrepreneur, you know how important it is to set boundaries for yourself in your business.

Doing so protects both your precious time and energy.

Yet as time passes, those once strong boundaries you set for yourself may inadvertently fizzle away and fade into nothingness.

It’s not as if you purposefully set about this path, but things do happen.

You then wonder why you’re feeling stressed, burned out, and overwhelmed more than ever.

If you’ve been overstepping your own business and personal boundaries over the past several months, then consider a business-wide reset.

Here are three work boundaries you should revisit in your business on a regular basis.

You need to reset client and customer boundaries.

You can’t deliver the best products, services, and experiences to your clients and customers when you’re burning the candle at both ends.

Look for ways to reset clear and concise boundaries with others in your business. Fortunately, this need not be a complex task.

Think about all the different ways you regularly communicate with clients and customers. How can you reset boundaries using these existing communication channels?

Tell others when they can expect to hear a reply from you via phone, email, text, postal mail, or in-person.

Remind others of your standard work hours during the day, week, month, and year.

Let people know as far in advance as possible when you will be unavailable due to vacation or personal time off.

You need to reset email boundaries.

The 24/7 news cycle and digital world have made business a true global phenomenon.

But just because you can send an email to anyone at any time during the day or night doesn’t mean you should.

In many ways, this can be a bad thing because of the poor impression it leaves on the recipient, i.e. “Why is she sending me emails at 3 a.m. in the morning?”

Set a specific start and end time for your daily email communications, preferably during your regular business hours.

Most importantly, strive to hold yourself accountable to this schedule like clockwork. You don’t want a temporary lapse in your efforts to create unnecessary confusion for others.

If you must send a message at a specific time during the workday but are unable to do so yourself, consider scheduling it in advance using your email client or another appropriate app.

You need to set meeting boundaries.

Meetings are an important aspect of any business, but they can also be huge energy drains.

Make sure both your virtual and in-person meetings have solid boundaries.

Identify specific meeting start and end times, create detailed agendas, and purposefully invite attendees.

Another key component of setting meeting boundaries is identifying whether or not a meeting needs to be held in the first place or not.

Can the goal of the meeting be achieved through some other method or approach?

If yes, consider skipping the meeting and sharing important information with others through another channel such as email, an announcement, bulletin, or newsletter.

If not, do your homework to ensure you hold a well-managed and productive meeting.

Set clear expectations for meeting attendees, reduce or eliminate distractions during the meeting, and manage the overall flow of the meeting with care so that it both starts and ends on time.
