Create the hard edges that allow your brain to do its best work... a.k.a. set up super strict boundaries and watch the brilliance FLOW.

The key takeaways:

5 boundary lines that make ALL the difference:

• Working hours. Including break times.
• Project scope, set deliverable, and the zone of genius you will not waver from.
• Pricing. Don’t wiggle. If someone wants to pay less they get less.
• Channels of communications. Not every platform has to be a client platform.
• Timelines – what are your turnaround times and when do require input from others?

Tips for keeping those boundaries in place:

• Define them. List them all out and make them accessible for everyone, whether that’s in an autoresponder, a client agreement or a simple email.
• Stick to them yourself (others will take cues from your behaviour, remember that).
• If you really, truly can’t stay out of your inbox outside of working hours, check out Boomerang.
• Create scripts that handle each type of boundary cross, so that you can easily, stresslessly deal with those less than ideal situations.
• Always be transparent with what you think and what you need. Difficult conversations get way more difficult when you put them off.
