Part of the Boundaries Wheel

What is Flexible?

A healthy ability to adjust work hours when genuinely needed while maintaining overall balance. Flexibility serves life rather than eroding it. True flexibility requires a baseline of firm boundaries.

When you might feel flexible

Flexible is a specific form of hours, which itself is a type of work. You might experience this feeling in situations where work is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define flexible.
