What is the point of committing to doing 101 things if you are exhausted, tired, agitated and worn out? You won't be giving 100%; in fact, only a small portion of that. I say pick and choose - maybe set a weekly limit on how many engagements you can commit to. Also make sure you set aside a very particular day (or day<i>s</i> if you need them) to take care of yourself and to do something that will rejuvenate you in more ways than one. Love thyself, Raul :) Because we do! I have been learning the value in “self care” in recent months and I can tell you straight up that it’s not something you can put a price on.

Perhaps it's time to focus on the latter and regain some balance in your life.

At some point, you just have to step back and take a break for yourself. We should have a "Just say no!" support group.
