Boundary Conversation Script

AI disclosure: This post was generated with AI to help me test the site's supplementary files features.

This script helps you hold a direct but respectful boundary conversation.

Conversation outline

1. State your intent clearly: "I want to protect focused work time and still be fully present after work."
2. Describe the impact without blame: "Frequent interruptions make me lose context and delay important work."
3. Define the boundary: "From 9-5, assume I am unavailable unless it is urgent."
4. Offer a collaboration path: "Let us use our check-in windows for non-urgent topics."
5. Confirm and revisit: "Can we try this for a week, then adjust together?"
