Here are some ways in which you can do that. Start off by respecting your limits. Know your capacity and avoid overcommitting. It’s okay to say, “I’d love to help, but my plate is full right now.” 🚀 Remember, communication is our best friend in all aspects of our lives.

Work-life balance is a must, not a luxury. ⏰
