We think we have more time than we do

Lifehacker:
"People are consistently surprised to be so busy today. Lacking knowledge of what specific tasks will compete for their time in the future, they act as if new demands will not inevitably arise that are as pressing as those faced today."

It's always hard to say no to an opportunity if you don't know WHY you have to say no.
I'm horrible at judging just how overcommitted I am,
but I'm glad to know it's a pretty common occurrence.
