I totally agree that it can be extremely stressful, and a heavy burden to bear when considering taking on more than what we think we can’t handle. To that point, I’ve also learned that it’s a matter of time management, and mind over will in a lot of ways, when tackling several goals at once.
But you also raise the point that in everything we must strive to strike a balance between what’s important in our careers with what’s important to our lives (and our sanity and overall well-being). At the end of the day, only we in and of ourselves can make the necessary decisions to strike that balance. Hang in there! And thanks again!

I’ve taken that mentality of getting what I can while I can (i.e., do grad school before the kids come) but in an effort to do all that I can while I can, I sometimes find myself burnt out and wanting to flat quit or just put things on an indefinite pause so I can pick my brain back up! I need balance. I need to figure out what can I really get without losing other valuable things that I already have, aka, peace of mind, time with my husband, etc.
