EDITOR ’ S PICK
Don ’ t own other people ’ s responsibilities .
This is a big one , particularly for people-pleasers and perfectionists . It ’ s tempting to just pick up someone else ’ s slack , whether at home or in the workplace , but it isn ’ t beneficial to either you or the person you ’ re covering for . If you ’ ve delegated tasks out to your family members , let them take responsibility for those tasks . Boundaries are an important part of time management because otherwise you ’ ll waste your time doing things other people should be doing , so focus on your own responsibilities and let others deal with their own .
