on your list that have no connection to what you have identified as important to you, then scratch them off your list. You may need to make some calls and resign from some committees, clubs or other volunteer work. As hard as that might be once it is done you will feel a sense of relief. Because you have spent some time deciding what is important to you, making those phone calls will actually be easier. You can simply explain that you are finding yourself pulled in too many directions and you are trying to focus your energy on what is most important to you.
