Overcommitment is like a badge of honor in our society, but that doesn’t mean you need to put your name on every volunteer sign-up or agree to every networking lunch.

Protect your time and your sanity by being selective and asking: Does this activity fit with my goals, my strengths, my values, or my schedule?
