@soft.shift.space: THEIR “QUICK FAVOR” KEEPS BECOMING YOUR ENTIRE EVENING. You answer during dinner. Stay on the call. Take on one more thing. Your own plans become whatever there’s time for afterward. Give your boundary a sentence you can act on: “I can talk for ten minutes.” “I’m not available tonight.” “I can listen, but I can’t take this on.” Then follow through. End the call at the agreed time. Leave the nonurgent message until tomorrow. Keep the evening you already planned. Guilt may show up. Pause before offering another favor just to make it disappear. Follow @soft.shift.space for practical boundaries that help you stop giving away time you already needed for yourself.
