Too much on your plate?
Too much on your plate?
How did this happen?
Can’t you give it back?
That was a bit careless
Next time turn your back
Can’t you delegate?
Do you overcommit?
Are you taken for a ride?
Take a breath and sit
Too much on your plate?
Share it!
Don’t tip it!
Eat it!
Don’t eat it!
Don't do it!
You can do it!
Don't drop it!
Slowly chew it...
Too much on your plate?
Don’t be greedy
Put some in the refrigerator
Go on, you reserve it
Have a lighter meal later
Go for a walk
Don’t have dessert
Chew a bit of peppermint
Your time and space assert
Too much on your plate?
Show more resilience
Learn how to cope
Go on a course
And if there is no hope
You’d better do a runner
It’s clearly your fault
And while you are at it
Make running your default
