I have a bad habit of over promising and under delivering.

I don’t do it on purpose, I’m just overly optimistic about what I am able to achieve in a certain amount of time.

Sometimes the over promising motivates me to get going into work. But it often makes me feel overwhelmed and defeated when I don’t reach what I set out to do.

The way to fix this is to either promise less or deliver more. I’ve been working on the delivering more but I struggle with the promising less.

I think it’s about balancing optimism with realism. And understanding your own limits.

I’ll continue to work on this. And hopefully be able to get the balance just right
