Stop with the excuses. Just stop.
If you say you are going to do something, then just do it. When you know that you cannot do what you promised, then let somebody know that. It’s easy; just be honest and tell the truth. Simply put, I’m talking about time management. 
According to most time management experts, it makes more sense to just reexamine how you’re spending your time and manage it better. July becomes the seventh month of 2020 already, and the clock keeps moving on. Start right now; make a short list and get things done. Time management boils down to getting and keeping your act together. That means you show up on time, set priorities and then get and stay organized.
Without organization — a highly underrated skill — you overcommit to projects and events, miss deadlines, forget things and become overwhelmed. It’s amazing how much better you’ll feel with less anxiety due to the lack of organization in your life. In fact, I promise you will love yourself more and have time to do something for others.
