Sometimes the idea of something is way more complicated and stressful than the actual thing.
For example, I had two activities planned (work and a volunteer project) and a third added in between them (a hard to gather group of family members).
Technically I have time for all three but I like to have time between things to guarantee I am functional. But I vented my frustration to a friend and asked for perspective. She simply asked if I had anything going on the following day and suggested I rest then.
This is the best advice if I'm aiming to keep all my obligations. But I'm also exhausted and sore from a long week of work. And worried that I will be less productive for taking on too much at once..
We shall see how it goes.
