Quick Quiz - Are You Overscheduled?

Sunday, June 14, 2026 1:33

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Summer is here—I love summer! Yet, I feel tired and frazzled because I can’t spend the day outside in my garden.

Why? I asked myself that question. I answered the question too. I’m overscheduled.

If you feel frazzled and frustrated, maybe you’re overscheduled too. Here’s a quick quiz to help you.

If you can answer YES to 5 of these questions, you need to take a step back and change something in your life or your daily schedule.

(1) Do you frequently forget to do something you said you’d do?

(2) When you wake in the morning, do you dread getting out of bed because of all the tasks facing you?

(3) Do you skip breakfast because you need to tackle your projects right away?

(4) Do you feel pressed for time so you skim emails or save them for later rather reading and responding immediately?

(5) Do you eat lunch at your desk because you can’t take 20-30 minutes for a real lunch because your computer may explode from the volume of email and social media posts that are stacked up?

(6) Do you want to spend time with your hobbies or just reading a book or watching a movie with the family, but you never find the time to do any of that?

(7) Do you feel discouraged as you’re trying to fall asleep at night because you didn’t accomplish enough even though you worked from sunrise to sunset?

WHAT TO DO

What to do if you’re overscheduled? Maybe you wrongly feel that everything is your responsibility. Maybe you need to delegate tasks or eliminate some entirely. Maybe you need to learn to say NO. Maybe you need to be more assertive.

I don’t have the answer to your overscheduling problem, but I bet you do. Most of us know what we should do to clear out a clutter-filled day, but we don’t do it.

Tackle the really important tasks in your world, and do the best you can. At the end of the day, leave all of that behind and enjoy your personal life.

It’s easy to get caught up and feel you have to do it all, but there is something very important to remember.

Despite all the propaganda to the contrary, no one can do it all.

Do the best you you and make a plan to deal with the rest. More importantly, make a plan to free up enough time to have a real life.

TAKEAWAY TRUTH

Your personal life should be enjoyed, and your personal time should be protected. Personal relationships and fun nourish the soul and warm the heart.
