protect time for yourself
reserve time for your own needs
To protect time for yourself means to keep a period free so you can focus on your own needs or interests.
Hear it in real life
How do you avoid feeling overwhelmed?
I protect time for myself at the weekend.
I protect an hour for myself every evening to read or listen to music.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I protect myself time every Sunday.
Say: I protect time for myself every Sunday.
Put the time after "protect" and use "for yourself" to show who the time is reserved for.
