In this December episode, we explore how protecting your morning routine and arrival time creates a foundation for better boundaries in both professional and personal settings. Learn why getting to work on time isn't about perfectionism—it's about honouring your commitments to yourself and modelling healthy boundaries for others. We dive into creating a realistic, sustainable morning routine using the "minimum viable routine" approach and the 80% scheduling rule for busy holiday periods. Plus, discover how mastering this simple boundary builds the skills you need for bigger boundary-setting challenges, especially during family gatherings and end-of-year pressures. Perfect timing for healthcare professionals feeling the December squeeze of last-minute patient bookings and holiday chaos.

I acknowledge that I create this podcast on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri people, who have been the custodians of this land around Orange, New South Wales, for thousands of generations. I pay my respects to Wiradjuri Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognize the continuing connection to land, waters, and culture. This acknowledgment is a small but important step in recognizing the sovereignty of First Nations peoples and the deep historical and ongoing relationship with Country.
