The truth is, when we’re quick to pivot or say yes to everything, we end up with a thousand irons in the fire. And while having options is great, spreading yourself too thin means nothing gets your full attention. What you give your energy to is what grows. If you’re not tending to all those irons, nothing moves forward. If you have too many irons, you're either not prioritizing, or prioritizing by default.

Have you ever walked away from a conversation with that "busy" person feeling rejected, even when there was nothing to be rejected from? "Busy" is just a socially acceptable descriptor for touting your self-importance because "busy" implies that you are "in demand" for doing lots of things (i.e. productivity). Which by extension implies that your worthiness remains wrapped up in your output rather than inherently belonging to you. Your inherent worthiness has nothing to do

Let's admit it. We all know the feeling. There's that first day after a long holiday or right after you've gotten back from vacation-- before anyone even says anything, you've already concluded that you're behind. Whether it's emails or laundry or PTA announcements, you've somehow concluded that you have to play catch up because FOMO has got you in its grip. These are real problems. But they also have REAL SOLUTIONS.
