Why Do We Overcommit?

No time to do a full post as I'm rather overcommitted at the moment.

I found the following article describing my old friend, Overcommitment, and felt the immediate need to share it with you, my Overachieving (and frequently overcommitting) old friends.

If your appointment book runneth over, it could mean one of two things: Either you are enviably popular or you make the same faulty assumptions about the future as everyone else. Psychological research points to the latter explanation. Research by two business-school professors reveals that people over-commit because we expect to have more time in the future than we have in the present. Of course, when tomorrow turns into today, we discover that we are too busy to do everything we promised. (source)

I over-commit both because I'm popular and also because I neither plan on needing down-time nor on things piling up at the last moment.
I plan way too much and soon all my future the time is accounted for - commitments. There should be a balance.

you better have a neck tumor or something, to justify this absence. it's not like this is supposed to be a hobby or some fun little fling--this blog is your life, man!

the withdrawal symptoms get heavier and heavier...sometimes i awake in the middle of the night screaming "bskewl, bskewl", a shuddering gush of vomit and blood spraying from my lips and gas from the other end.

please...help me...help us...help yourself!
