Why don't I delegate responsibility?

Why don't I delegate responsibility?

I have an issue with not wanting to bother anyone else! There are so many things, especially now that I could give to someone else to do. Instead, I am up late every night doing things, in addition to unpacking boxes (I just officially moved). Does anyone else do this? For a year and a half, I should have asked my family or BM's for help! Now with a week to go I am swamped!!!

I hear you. I am like a crazy person. His Aunt keeps calling to see if we need any help and I keep saying no. Partly due to the fact that I am a control freak and want it done my way. I don't know why I just do that

I'm with you! I just prefer to do things myself. I'm a control freak like that. But if you are starting to get crazy, give your girls a call, i'm SURE they are more than willing to help!

I'm not that good at delegating either. But when people ask if I need help, I've learned to say yes!

I'm sure they will! I do this all the time, even at work. I always take on more than I can handle.

if you dont have a big paper cutter it can be a pain to cut the paper...go to a paper store and ask for them to cut the paper for you bc they have the huge paper cutter and takes them 5 mins to do if that actually...I did this and I was charged $6

also some places make programs for good prices, just as much as it would cost for materials

I have the same thing. Everyone is on LI and I am up here in CT.

It's not easy but just do a little at a time and it will be fine. When do you go to hand in your stuff. I go on Tuesday

Did you ask and they said they couldn't do it? Don't let the driving time bother you...if you really need help, ask them! If they say no, fine, you'll do it yourself. But they may just say ok, we'll help you.

Or, pack up all the supplies for things that need to be done and go to their houses in Staten Island...then they don't have an excuse for not helping.
