Setting Limits on Borrowing Tools
Your friend Nolan works on a construction crew building a warehouse in Saltbarrow, a coastal town in Nova Scotia. Other crew members often borrow his personal tools and forget to return them. Yesterday, he spent twenty minutes looking for his own hammer before he could start work. Nolan wants to stop this pattern, but he worries that setting limits will make him seem unhelpful. He asks for your advice.
