I have a pretty bad habit. Maybe you do too...

When I'm working towards a big goal or event (project deadline, release, exam, performance etc) I often defer requests and demands on my time until after it. The period after the event is like a promised land where I believe time will be somehow infinite and my energy supplies, limitless. It appears to be a magical time when I can do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING.

But obviously this is not true and I end up creating an even more stressful season by agreeing to do everything 'once this is all over'. Not a good habit. It's something I'm getting better at and in this episode of the podcast I share some of the questions I now filter requests through when I am unable to complete them in the present.
