My impression about the article：Overcoming Overcommitment

After reading this, I totally agree the saying that "Pelple believe they will have more time in the future than they have today."

Since I am just such kind of person："taking on too many responsibilities and then being unable to cope with the resulting demands on my time."

In the article, it suggests that "we need to think about how busy we are today before committing to yet another duty or activity." And it porvides some questions which we can ask ourselves befor agreeing to a new project, endeavor or responsibiliry, the following are the questions that the article provides：

1.Would I have time to spend on this today?
2.What feelings would I associate with this responsibility or commitmen? Dread, excitement, worry, accomplishment?
3.If I want to do this, what activities can I cut out to make time for it?
4.Am I doing this for me or to meet some one else's expectations?

All in all, now, by reading this article, I know the importance of "Just say no"！And realize that the simply "no" needing learn how to say.(Because for me, sometimes it is difficult to say it out.)

Like the author says："The key to effective time management lies in our perceptions of available time."

The article which I read is from the "Advance" magazine(October 2005).
