Happy new year! Many of you have told me that 2024 is the year of boundaries—recognizing you need them, setting them with more confidence, and holding them more effectively. But without a concrete plan, this goal will be hard to implement.

• Do you tackle the big boundaries first (for the most relief), or build up your confidence with smaller wins?

• Should you start by setting a boundary with someone else, or with yourself?

• Where, when, and how should you have these conversations—phone, text, in-person, email; ahead of time or in the moment?

• What if you’re already overcommitted and resentful and exhausted and saying yes to things you don’t really want to do and IT’S ONLY JANUARY 2nd?
