I find this a useful framework for thinking about busy-ness. I'm someone who skews towards feeling over-responsible for things, has a hard time saying 'No', etc. Comments here are making me realize that not everyone is like this and that maybe a better workload balance is possible. Does anyone have suggestions for books, articles, etc that have helped you improve your workload management and set boundaries regarding projects, ask for help when you're overloaded, etc? I often feel like I'm just at the mercy of what is put on my plate by other people.

I'm not such a person myself but I hear "The Art Of Saying NO" by Zahariades is pretty good. Not quite the same topic but I've also heard good things about "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" by Manson

That looks promising, thank you!
