A wise mentor once said, “Too much of a good thing is still too much”. I believe she was exactly right.
If your schedule is booked so tightly, even with things that you enjoy, that there is no time to tend to leadership coaching (see #112) or developing relationships — it is probably too much.
If you continuously say “yes” without regard to the impact on your time, health and sanity — it is probably too much.
If you don’t take time for yourself or to smell the proverbial roses — it is probably too much.
Just because something is a good thing, doesn’t mean that it is the right thing. If your weekend has you running at the same pace as during the week, it’s time for a reassessment.
Make your commitments in a context that considers more than if it is worthy or not. Ask yourself if it is too much, and if it is, give yourself permission to decline with a smile.
