When you know how much you have to do in a certain amount of time, it gives you the power to say No. When someone asks you if you can help with something you will know what you have on your plate already and you know if you can handle it.
We all want to help. That is good. But we all can't do everything. We need to know our limits so when we say yes we can follow through. We can be someone that others count on to get the job done. Because when we say yes to something we know we can handle it.
Through the process of a weekly review, in box management and next action lists that are current we will know what we have already on our plate, then we won't feel guilty when we don't pick up something new. And that will lead to less stress and fewer moments of being overwhelmed! Yay!
Just FYI, in case you think no one is reading this blog... I totally am. And I love it. Great reminders and motivation!
