The theme I see here echoed throughout this piece is boundaries. A lack of boundaries inevitably invites a lack of self care. Your mental health suffers, your work suffers, and it can feel all consuming.

I don’t think enough is written about how important boundaries are. Not just in business, but in every area of your life.

Earlier this year, I read Jenni Gritters story https://medium.com/better-marketing/how-i-made-120-000-in-my-first-year-as-a-freelance-writer-e9fb5ebcd02c — she has incredibly strict boundaries on her work time, and clients respect her more.

Each to their own I guess, but yours is an interesting story. I’m still learning how to set and stick to my boundaries, so yours has given me food for thought.
