Rana Al-Falaki explains how, far from acting as a barrier, setting boundaries can unlock performance while also improving work-life balance.
It is Sunday evening. Dinner is on the table, the children are talking about their weekend, and your partner is laughing at something one of them said. You are physically present and yet mentally nowhere near the room.
You are still at the practice. Replaying a conversation with a team member that did not go well on Friday. Running through tomorrow’s list. Wondering whether the lab work will arrive in time. Sleep, when it finally comes, will be fitful. Monday morning will arrive as a kind of dread.
