I stopped explaining my boundaries to people who kept asking why and that single change freed up more energy than any productivity system, morning routine, or self-help book I've tried in twenty years. - Silicon Canals

Explaining boundaries often leads to negotiation rather than communication, undermining their respect and creating unnecessary justification.

I stopped trying to explain my boundaries and started just having them. The people who needed the explanation were never going to respect the boundary. They needed the explanation so they could argue with it. - Silicon Canals

Boundaries don't require extensive explanations to be valid; offering detailed justifications often enables boundary violations rather than preventing them.
