"Hi John!" It has been two weeks since I accepted a new project. "Applause." It is definitely a balancing act for SURE. I have learned to say pass more and more. Thanks for this Julie. One in and One out!

I need to do that more.

"One in one out" may just may get me through the holiday season.

Hahahaha! I'm laughing at both of you. Shiny is definitely hard to resist over "boring." And Julie, you can call me and yell NO too. I could use a friendly service like that. 🙂

That principle has been a lifesaver for me! Hope it helps you too, Laurie.

But I REALLY need to do it with writing and business projects, too.

Aw, how nice that this really helped you! I've noticed a big difference just by writing everything out so I can look at it more objectively. Best wishes with your list, Judith!

"Usually sane" is our goal! Sounds like you're doing great. 🙂

When you're thinking of doing something new, you could always call me and I could yell NO! into the phone. Lol.

With these two I can usually stay sane! :O)
