9 Signs You’re Overcommitted

Taking on too much doesn’t mean you’re productive—it means you’re overloaded.

Burnout happens when you say yes to everything and no to nothing.

Here are 9 signs you’re overcommitted—and how to fix it:

1️⃣ Your To-Do List Never Ends

The Fix: Prioritize 3 key tasks per day and focus on what actually matters.

2️⃣ You Constantly Work Late

The Fix: Set clear work hours and stick to them—productivity needs boundaries.

3️⃣ You Feel Resentful About Your Workload

The Fix: Ask yourself, “Did I agree to this, or was it assumed?” Learn to push back.

4️⃣ You Say “Yes” Without Thinking

The Fix: Pause before agreeing. Try: “Let me check my workload and get back to you.”

5️⃣ You’re Dropping the Ball on Important Things

The Fix: Identify what’s slipping and delegate or eliminate low-value tasks.

6️⃣ You Never Have Time for Yourself

The Fix: Block off time for rest—without guilt. You’re not a machine.

7️⃣ You Struggle to Focus Because You’re Juggling Too Much

The Fix: Stop multitasking. Tackle one task at a time for better efficiency.

8️⃣ You’re Always Rushing But Never Feel Accomplished

The Fix: Shift from being busy to being intentional. Focus on impact, not just effort.

9️⃣ You Feel Exhausted All the Time

The Fix: Overcommitment drains energy. Start saying “no” to protect your well-being.

If you don’t set limits, your time will always belong to someone else.
