Hmmm – what is this capacity of which you speak?

You mean, there are limits?

But how will beat myself up if I can’t try and do everything and then fail?

I just came here to say, I wish all project managers had your philosophy. Wow. And Marie’s comment above just goes to show how hungry we are for a better way of thinking about work. Capacity is definitely one of my words for 2010. Capacity and Qualities! Now I kinda want to see “The Shmorian Business Plan,” etc… ;)

Reading this almost made me cry. I have been presented with several personal projects I find challenging because others involved simply do not understand that MY capacity is not what they expect.

I’ve felt overwhelmed and rather shamed that I couldn’t fulfill these projects at the pace expected. I have so many things on my plate and it just seemed like whining to take those into consideration.

While I shouldn’t need your “permission” to consider these, you have empowered me to say boldly, This has to go at my pace. And I feel more confident about addressing sovereignty and safety, which are big issues for me.

Thank you so much. You have certainly successfully reached me today.
