Knowing yourself helps you set the stage for setting boundaries.<\/li>\n<li>Set clear expectations.\u00a0You need to understand your surroundings, work environment, and culture in order to set your boundaries and keep them. If your work has expectations, consider those before you set boundaries that oppose them, explains Moran.<\/li>\n<li>Focus on the outcomes.\u00a0Communicate to your manager or supervisor how much you can deliver in one day and at what time according to your personal demands at home. Focusing on what you do, not how long you do it, is an important way to manage an overwhelming workload.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.case.org\/resources\/7-simple-steps-create-better-boundaries-when-you-work-home?_zs=EOafP1&amp;_zl=8wBD6\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>7 Simple Steps to Create Better Boundaries When You Work From Home By\u00a0Ileana Webb March 22, 2021 \u00a0 The challenges of working remotely have shown a discordance of balancing everyday life with managing job responsibilities under the same roof.
