Enjoying Social Events on a Night Shift Schedule Without Losing Sleep

0:01
social event management um so these are
0:04
just suggestions they are not havetos
0:07
but one of the things you might do is
0:09
compromise on planning um if you are the
0:12
person who is hosting you might need to
0:15
find a time that works for both you and
0:17
the other person or people that are
0:20
coming and this isn't again a have to
0:23
i'm not saying you have to compromise on
0:25
your boundaries but it might mean that
0:28
sometimes if I want to really have
0:30
something that everybody could attend
0:32
maybe that means I'm sleeping for an
0:34
hour or so less um just this once maybe
0:38
it means I'm going to save that for a
0:40
day off maybe it means I'm going to take
0:42
a day off again it depends on what it is
0:45
you are planning or hosting and who you
0:47
want to be able to
0:49
come communicate your availability if
0:52
you're attending an event let your
0:54
friends know when you can or cannot
0:56
attend something they might not be able
0:58
to accommodate it but they also might
1:01
you never know until you try letting
1:03
people know what your schedule is like
1:06
gives more options for them to work
1:09
around it especially if you specifically
1:11
ask them to hey it's really important
1:13
that I attend this is there any way you
1:15
could have it an hour or two later and
1:18
you never know what they might say and
1:20
then prioritizing just like we discussed
1:23
with boundaries it's important to
1:24
prioritize what's most important to
1:26
attend um so you might do that by
1:29
identifying one to two things that are
1:31
most important and seeing what can be
1:33
shifted or what can become flexible so
1:35
you can go um you're not going to be
1:38
able to attend everything like anyone
1:41
right nobody can probably attend every
1:43
single event life happens we have busy
1:46
schedules but if you can prioritize at
1:49
least one or two things again if it's
1:51
really important that I show up at my
1:53
niece and nephew's birthday parties I'm
1:55
going to make sure I can be there even
1:56
if I have to compromise on boundary a
1:59
little bit if I have to take a day off
2:01
half day something like that
2:03
prioritizing what you want to be at so
2:05
again it's up to you to make sure you
2:07
can get there
