Not Everything Is Yours (Why You Feel Responsible for Everything)

Not everything on your to-do list actually belongs to you. And you have far fewer non-negotiable responsibilities than you think. You who feel overwhelmed, I want to reassure you that you are not bad at planning, or at handling life. You’re overwhelmed because you are carrying things that aren’t yours, and keep getting more. Today I break down how to handle the to-do list items you can’t get away from, and show you how to start to question your absorbed responsibilities and why you do everything for everyone.
