I started small. The next time someone asked for a "five minute call" (which is never five minutes), I didn't reply "Sorry, I’m swamped." I replied: "I can’t do a call today, but feel free to send the details via email and I’ll review when I’m in deep focus mode tomorrow."
No apology. No excuse. Just a boundary.
The world did not end. In fact, the person respected me more.
“Margo didn’t just help me get promoted—she helped me redefine what success looked like. I’m happier and more effective.”

Today, I want you to look at your calendar for next week. Find one thing on there that you added out of obligation, not desire. And cancel it.
You don’t need a good excuse. You don’t need to lie. Just say: "Upon further reflection, I need to withdraw from this to protect my focus. Thank you for understanding."
Your time is not a renewable resource. It is the only currency you truly have.
Spend it like you mean it.
