"If you have too much on your plate, get a bigger plate."
I first heard this when I was doing a leadership course in London in 2009. Everyone in the leadership course was doing too much stuff and getting overwhelmed. And someone in the course suggested this quote.
I'm always trying to figure out how to make my plate bigger... I think that's why this quote compels me so much.
