How do you organize your life when everything feels important? Learn five practical strategies to prioritize competing responsibilities, stop overcommitting, and work out what can realistically fit into your week.
You'll learn how to compare the cost of delaying a task, check before saying yes, clarify what someone actually needs, and handle recurring conflicts with an if-then rule. Then we'll work through a crowded week together, including what to say when you still can't meet every request.
Put these ideas to work on your own difficult week. My 25-page workbook includes seven steps, six message builders, and three completed examples to help you decide what can change and find the words to ask. Includes fillable and printable PDFs.
