Setting limits on your availability - Deepstash

Setting limits on your availability

Givers are inclined to accommodate all the requests for help - neglecting their own responsibilities while being at the mercy of takers.

  • Instead of accommodating every request for help, givers need to set up boundaries. Set aside windows of quiet time during which you can focus on deep work.
  • Ask managers for support to help mentor juniors.
  • When dealing with takers, givers can help only if takers will pay it forward.
