One lesson I had to learn the hard way is the importance of setting boundaries. Early in my career, I was eager to please and took on every task that came my way. I thought saying “yes” to everything would help me stand out and advance. However, I quickly became overwhelmed and burnt out. It affected not only my work quality but also my personal life. I learned that it’s essential to communicate my limits and prioritize my well-being. Now, I’m more mindful about the commitments I take on, which has ultimately made me more productive and fulfilled. Have you experienced something similar?
