So Many Requests. So Little Time!
ICRS interviews. Book reviews and promotions. Blog tours. Product reviews.
I’d love to say yes to them all, but I have to be very selective. I’m feeling the pressure and stress and it’s really not necessary. I can say “no.” I will say “no.” I must say “no.”
I’ll will have to weigh each request against the needs of myself and family. Each request takes time away from what I really want to do. I already feel overloaded at ICRS. I’m not sure how long these interviews will take and I’m afraid I’m stretching myself thin!
So in the next couple of weeks, I will have to cut back on my book promotions, blog tours and product reviews to step back and breath this summer. Hopefully I will gain much needed rest for my own spiritual, physical and family rejuvination!

Saying “no” can be so hard! But being able to do the things that matter is even more important. May God lead you in the right way for you and your family!

June 4th, 2008 at 2:50 pmI like to help people, and it’s extremely difficult for me to say no. I remember at leadership conferences how the good/better/best principle was taught. Not everything that’s good or even better is what we should be doing. Just figure out what is best for you and your family, Gina - and then simply do it. Sometimes that’s easier said than done, but it will be worth it in the long run.
