The first boundary is the hardest. After that, people start learning the shape of you.

STILLNESS
The first limit is the expensive one, because it arrives as a surprise and everybody has to adjust around it. After a few repetitions it stops being an event and becomes a known fact about you, which is much less work for everyone involved. People are rarely trying to push past your edges; they just do not know yet where those edges are. Showing them is a one-time cost.
Pick the limit you most want people to know about and say it once this week. Then say it the same way next time, with no extra explanation.
What would get easier after you said no the first time?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
