Stress and feeling unhappy about your job may be caused by not keeping commitments. You tend to spend a lot of time making excuses for not keeping promises and fail to perform the promised duties. For you to be successful in meeting your commitments, assess your ability first before making commitments. Even if the idea of volunteering makes you look good to others, do not volunteer if you can’t deliver. In case your workload exceeds your energy and time, try to seek help and resources from your boss through a comprehensive plan.
