Become a boundary-setting boss

How to draw your lines with confidence.

• Be assertive. Assertive language is clear and non-negotiable, without blaming or threatening the receiver. Be assertive using "I statements."
• Learn to say no. You can say no without an explanation and without providing any emotional labor to the person you’re saying it to.
• Safeguard your spaces. For example, use the Do Not Disturb feature on your phone and other devices.
