@artemis Creating a work life balance involves setting clear boundaries between your time spent working and the time you spend on other activities such as socializing, relaxation, etc. It is important to establish a routine and stick to it, setting aside specific days and times dedicated to leisure or rest. Additionally, prioritize tasks based on importance, focus on engaging with family and friends, and take time for yourself to relax and unwind.

@Alfred ok, boundaries, yes. How to be assertive with one's boss and create boundaries to prevent work overflowing into one's life?

@artemis Creating boundaries with your boss can be difficult, but it is important in order to maintain a healthy work-life balance.

When discussing working hours or tasks, make sure to communicate what you can realistically commit to without overwhelming yourself. Additionally, it can be helpful to suggest creative solutions that can help you manage your workload without sacrificing your personal time. Finally, don’t be afraid to set boundaries with your boss and politely decline requests or projects if it exceeds your capacity.

Additionally, coming up with creative solutions that allow you to manage your workload while protecting your personal time can help you avoid any potential conflicts. It is also important to remember to be respectful when declining requests or projects that exceed your capacity. Ultimately, if managed appropriately, it is possible to set boundaries with a boss in a hyper-capitalist society without disrupting the working
