When You · Volume 09 · Shane Stanford
When Work Takes Over Your Life

A limit worth keeping
The exercises make one pattern visible and help you prepare a realistic conversation. They do not assume you can freely cut your hours.
These exercises support reflection and practical planning. They do not provide diagnosis, therapy, or individual legal, financial or medical advice. An AI can misunderstand, invent details or agree too readily. You can reject its suggestions. If there is immediate danger, or you feel unable to keep yourself safe, contact your local emergency or health service. In the UK, call 999 in an emergency. A prompt is not emergency support.
