Common? Yes. Normal? No. In this episode, Darya walks you through quick signs your coworker is taking up too much space—and a practical plan to get relief this week: a 90-minute reset, clean scripts for common behaviors, a 7-day mini sprint, and a 10-minute alignment chat if you need it.
Inside:
- 6 quick signs you’re giving this person too much space
- The 90-minute reset (feel a difference today)
- Clean, word-for-word scripts for interrupters, gossip, last-minute drops, pushy asks, and micromanagers
- A 7-day reset plan that changes the rhythm without drama
- A 2-minute doorway ritual so work doesn’t follow you home
Try this today: Run one 90-minute reset block and use one script. That’s it.
