We fall into these conundrums when we can't bring ourselves to say no. It's hard to say no to someone who you can see has a real need to meet their pirority. Everyone you deal with thinks their priority must be yours too. But, it remains within our power to stop and decide what is really our own priority. We have to begin with what really matters to us. We have to teach ourselves to say no – or at the very least, to say, "not right now."
