Reading 623: work
Like rising water threatening a dam, there are times when work floods in all at once this year. If you accept every request, the dam may overflow, so politely say no early to what you can't handle. Setting priorities lets even overflowing water follow its channel.
Money
Unexpected costs may pile up at once this year. Building a dam called an emergency fund ahead of time keeps you from shaking much. For money favors people ask of you, set your rules before your heart softens.
People and relationships
Other people's requests and emotions may pour in this period. Don't try to take it all; give only as much as you can handle. People who keep healthy boundaries actually keep good relationships longer.
A small habit for this year
When a new request comes in, compare it with your current to-do list before answering. It is the easiest way to guard the dam.
