Your boundary-setting ability isn't constant—it fluctuates with your mental energy. At the start of the day, your prefrontal cortex is fresh. You can evaluate requests, weigh consequences, and choose deliberately. But by evening? That same brain is running on fumes. It doesn't want to think. It wants relief. And the fastest relief is yes. This is why you agree to things at 7pm that you'd never accept at 10am. The solution isn't more willpower. It's building buffer phrases you can use on autopilo
