Stop Stressing Just Say No

As Many People Have commented at one time or Another, We Could Get So Much More If There Were just done more hours in the Day. Obligations pile up everywhere: droits au travail, Commitment to social groups, Quality Time With The Family and timeout to Spend With Friends ... For Whatever Reason, There Always Seems To Be Some Kind of demand (or Worse, a polite request) is Our Time. Yet this Wishing for More Time In The Day Is Missing the real point of the Problem, Which Is Actually Quite different.

What's the problem, Then?

To be fair Entirely Without Being Harsh, we are the problem. More accurately, it's our Inability to say no. We accept new Burdens Because We Want To Be helpful. We take it harder projects Because We Think We Can Handle it if We Just Work It Out Properly. Weekends and nods to Little requêtes Because, after all, They Are not That Big of a deal, are they?

Soon enough, we've Said yes to So Many Things That There Is not Enough time to do all of 'em Healthily.
