When setting boundaries identify all the people who may be the source of an inconvenient interruption. Beyond your colleagues, customers,  and suppliers if you are working from home you may need to take into account friends and family as well. Once you are clear on who might interrupt you (and how) you can start to set up your boundaries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span>3 Steps  to Setting Bullet Proof Boundaries<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst\"><span>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0  Be crystal clear on what is expected from you to meet your goals and obligations.  Your boundaries will ensure you can meet these expectations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle\"><span>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0  Ask yourself \u2018what boundaries do I need to set to meet these expectations and  achieve these goals?\u2019 (For example, setting specific times when you won\u2019t be  reading emails or receiving calls.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoListParagraphCxSpLast\"><span>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0  Ensure that anyone who may be affected by your boundaries understands them, accepts them, and respects them. When you share a boundary, it is important that you invest some time to explain why you have set it, why it is important to you,  and the benefits to them and your\/their company. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><a name=\"_Hlk93317819\"><span>Having boundaries is a crucial element to avoiding unnecessary workplace dramas.
