How do you set boundaries in a world that values constant availability?

It feels like we’re expected to be “on” 24/7, whether it’s for work, social media, or messages from family. Finding ways to disconnect and make time for ourselves isn’t easy, but it’s more important than ever.

Here’s a few things I do: 
- I only answer DMs once a day, no matter how many come in—otherwise, I’d be checking my messages constantly. 

- I also make a point to shut off my phone for a few hours each night to spend time with my wife. She gets grumpy if Warpcast gets all the time. Taking my face out of a screen for a bit always helps me recharge. (Although, I’ll admit—it’s been hard since the introduction or @clanker 😂)

What about you? How do you set boundaries in our always connected world?

These days, it feels like 24 hours isn’t enough, with so much to juggle. Before marriage, I took pride in carving out “me” time. I would always find moments to be alone, deeply immersed in a book I wanted to finish, or indulging in one of my many beauty sleeps.  

But since getting married and having a baby, that “me time” seems to have vanished. Between work, online hustles, and taking care of my home, there’s barely enough time for myself.  

That’s why I’ve set a bedtime schedule and put my phone on DND every night at 10 pm. When the notification pops up, I drop my phone—no matter what I’m doing—and dedicate the next 30 minutes planning for the next day before hitting the bed. 

I’ve also made weekends strictly for family. I stay away from any online hustles to ensure I have enough time for them and for myself. These little adjustments help me stay balanced.
