Original Advice
“DO: State your priorities and your availability upfront.”
Schedule Yourself First, Out Loud
You waste time by letting others book you before you book yourself. Your calendar tells the truth: you bend. You stay late. You say yes out of habit, then resent the hangover. Stop pretending you are available when you are not. Put names to your needs: sleep, money, quiet, progress. Say it at the start. Watch who stays. Watch who sulks.
Front-load your limits. Save everyone from guesswork and save yourself from martyrdom. Treat your time as capital; spend it like rent is due. State priorities—work first, body second, friendship after. Let the right people align themselves. Let the wrong ones fall off. This is not cruelty. It is infrastructure. Use clarity as a filter. Deadlines love boundaries. Opportunity does too. Ambition needs room, not crumbs.
Cosmic Context
Saturn built you from clocks and bones. Draw the line before the climb; the mountain obeys.
