The office manager in Charlotte told me to stop saying yes to every project and I finally get why
I used to think volunteering for every extra task made me look like a team player. Back in February I counted it up and I had my hands in 11 projects at once, half of them ones nobody else wanted. My review came back with a note about quality slipping. The office manager pulled me aside and said a full plate makes everything look half done.
I dropped down to 4 projects last month. Same hours. Way less stress. But here is what bugs me, the stuff I said no to went to people who also have too much going on. So did I just move the problem around? How do you all decide what to turn down when there is nobody else to hand it to?
