  To avoid overwhelm, it's important to be flexible with your commitments. Regularly renegotiate your schedule based on evolving priorities and don't hesitate to say no to tasks that no longer serve you. Keeping a list of past commitments can help you identify what you would decline today, allowing for a more manageable workload.
