Just Say No


While I like volunteering and helping out... I can see I'm going to need to start using the word "No" more often. Yesterday someone asked for help in creating a spreadsheet and now I'm suddenly responsible for this person's work, in addition to my own responsibilities for this particular volunteer project.

Then today someone wanted me to help out with another event that I've already contributed a lot of time and money too. I was able to say "no" to that, so hopefully it will be easier and easier to continue saying no. I haven't made time to do the things I enjoy like stamping, reading, or being with friends. I need to find balance between good works, regular work, and some good ol' R&R.
