Your sabbatical is a rare opportunity to step away from the day-to-day demands of academe and focus on your priorities. Once you've determined what you want to prioritize for your sabbatical, the last thing you want is constant interruptions that take away from your focus on those goals.
Setting and communicating boundaries in advance is like creating guardrails for your sabbatical. Instead of putting up an email away message and hoping for the best, you can head into sabbatical confident that you're protecting your time.
You may be nodding along but also wondering, How do I do that? Fortunately, I have answers. In this episode, I walk you through a 3-step process for setting boundaries to protect your time during sabbatical.
You can read more about boundaries in this blog post.
If you haven't gotten enough on the boundary front, you can listen to this podcast episode on setting boundaries.
