Too Much of a Good Thing
It’s nearly 1:30 AM and although I’m supposed to be sleeping so I can get up with Kyle tomorrow morning, I’m wide awake because I can’t get my brain to stop worrying about all sorts of nonsense. Not major life catastrophes, mind you, but random things that aren’t even really a problem and which I can definitely do nothing about tonight.
I think I’ve officially hit the point of having said “yes” to too much. By the time I came home from California, I was overextended beyond belief. I finally just sat down and prioritized so I could figure out which things I need to focus on and which things I need to let slide. Although I now feel like I could probably go to bed, I’ve also created a new micro-worry: the “no” that comes after the “yes”.
According to my list, I said yes to about eleven things that I’m going to have to let go. Each is a rather small commitment, but when I add them all together they turn into a whole lot of time that I don’t have. Sigh. This is the problem with being the girl who says yes…it almost inevitably leads me to being the girl who says “I thought I could but I can’t. Sorry.” That girl is definitely a step down from being the girl who says, “Sorry. Can’t.” in the first place.
Le sigh. Anyone have any Emily Post tips on backing out of things you committed to during a delusional fit of productivity?
