| 0:00.0 | Boundaries are not barriers to freedom. |
| 0:03.0 | They are the foundation upon which intentional living is built. |
| 0:07.0 | And that is the thought for today. |
| 0:14.0 | Welcome to Seven Good Minutes. I'm Clyde Lee Dennis. Thanks for joining me for what I believe will be seven of the most enriching minutes of your day. In today's episode of Seven Good Minutes, we talk about starting strong and setting clear boundaries for your day. Enjoy. Before your feet hit the floor this morning, your day was already making demands on you. |
| 0:40.3 | Text messages waiting for responses, emails requiring attention, tasks pulling you in different directions, and people expecting your time and energy. |

| 1:39.4 | what you want to accomplish, and what you're willing to say no to in service of what matters |
| 1:43.8 | most. This isn't |
| 1:45.4 | about being rigid or inflexible. It's about being intentional and protective of your most valuable |
| 1:50.4 | resources. Your time, energy, and attention. Consider the boundary of time. Every yes to one thing is a |
| 1:59.1 | no to something else. When you say yes to scrolling social media |
| 2:03.0 | for 30 minutes, you're saying no to 30 minutes of reading, exercise, or meaningful conversation. |
| 2:09.9 | When you say yes to that extra meeting, you're saying no to focused work time or personal |
