Overcommitment Exit Kit
Getting out of what you already said yes to — in writing, in the right order, without torching a single relationship.
What it is
The withdrawal operation, run properly: every standing yes counted at its real cost, sorted on two axes into keep, renegotiate, hand over and exit, then the messages actually written — the exit that does not over-explain, the renegotiation that names the new shape instead of asking permission to shrink, the handover that leaves the successor equipped — with the sending order, the notice periods and the rules that stop the space refilling.
What you receive
an honest inventory of everything you have said yes to with its true weekly cost, sorted into keep, renegotiate, hand over and exit under a hard cap — with the actual message written for each exit and renegotiation, the notice periods and the order to send them in, and the standing rules that stop the calendar refilling within a month
