A pet peeve of mine, is when
A pet peeve of mine, is when folks refer to being 'over committed'.
I don't think you can be. If you fail to achieve some goal because something else got in the way, it sounds to me like you were not committed to the first goal, otherwise you would not have allowed something to get in the way.
Failure to say no leads to lack of commitment. Period.
If you get too much on your plate, you are not over committed. You are simply not committed enough to too many things at once.
