Donald Burns presents a short motivational segment warning that constantly saying "yes" leads to overcommitment and burnout. He reframes burnout as a self-inflicted outcome tied to poor limits and introduces "boundaries" (psychologists' term) as the protective practice to prevent being pulled in too many directions.

Problems arise when we say yes all the damn time. To the point where we're over committed and we're pulled in way too many directions at once. Everyone has a breaking point. This phenomenon is called burnout. Burnout isn't something that happens to you. It's something that you do to yourself. I want you to remember that control starts with not saying yes to everything that comes your way. The word psychologists use is boundaries. Having solid boundaries protects you.
