From the course: Mistakes You Should Avoid at Work
Blending work and personal time
- It used to be that there was a very clear line between work time and personal time. Work could only be done in the office, so once you left, personal time began. These days, thanks to technology, this line is a lot more blurry. We can pretty much work from anywhere, whether it's during our morning commute or on a beach in Tahiti. And similarly, it's easy to complete personal errands while in the office, like paying bills or researching your next vacation destination. Given these blurred lines, it's really important to avoid the mistake of blending work and personal time. This can impact you in both directions. You can easily burn yourself out by not making work boundaries clear and allowing it to bleed into your home life. You can also burn bridges at work by doing too many personal errands while on the clock. So, set yourself up for success by setting clear boundaries. You'll be happy you did.
