It's hard to say "no", especially when they are things you want to do and are for people you want to help. Been there, done that! I still struggle in this area. I've gotten better at knowing what my limits are and most of the time not committing myself beyond them, but I still slip up and promise way more than I can deliver. Then I turn myself inside-out with the guilt of disappointing someone when I mentally or physically can't handle everything I've put on my plate. Sigh.

I found it even more challenging when I was in school to balance all the projects and things for others, family time, household responsibilities, personal time/projects and school - particularly when school always took up more time than I anticipated. It sucks but as a student the priorities have to be school, self, family, everything else. Part of this is just a season in your life - it's okay!

I think the goal of finishing things already started and taking the next commitment all the way to completion is excellent. (I'll be counting those muslins!). Learn where your limits are and put up boundaries so you don't cross them. And when you do cross them, be a little easier on yourself, learn from it and move on. The people that really care about you will do the same and the rest aren't worth the bother.
