Diagnosis
No edges means your family, your body, and your actual work get the leftovers. Availability is not virtue when it is fear. An edge is how you keep the promises that matter.
Protocol
- 1Define work hours and off hours in writing. Share them with the people who breach them.
- 2Protect one block that is not for sale: training, dinner, Word, sleep.
- 3Answer slower on purpose for a week. Watch what actually burns down. Almost nothing.
The standard: Published edges. One protected block. Fewer heroic exceptions.
“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God.”
Exodus 20:8–10
