Over-committing is almost an
epidemic. Those who don’t over-commit may not understand the severity, but those who have
experienced it know exactly what that means. Most people don’t even realize they’re
over-committed until it’s too late. Once meetings start overlapping and you’re having to leave
one early just to arrive at another late is when you realize that maybe it’s time to stop. Except,
it's not that easy. For people who catch the over-committed disease it’s not easy to cancel
projects and say no to other meetings. We create one reason or another as to why we need to
keep going, to keep doing what we’re doing. Whether it’s for the incredible experience it can
bring us or for the help it can bring others. However, this ends up hurting us more than it helps us.
