Seemingly small things in your life can add up to produce more stress. When you live a busy lifestyle sometimes the tendency is to think, “this new thing is small, I can probably manage it, it’s just for a short time.” So, when you say “yes” to organizing the cookie drive, or to writing that short article about an event, or to hosting the next home owner’s association meeting, or to being the association secretary…you’re adding small things that in and of themselves aren’t that big of a deal… But, when you add those seemingly little things up, and pile them on top of an already busy schedule, you can quickly reach the point beyond which stress is no longer manageable and you just run yourself into the ground.
