[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So start saying no. You don't have to do anything. I do less than 3/4 of what you are doing, and no one is suffering. I'd say everyone loves it because I'm super chill, we aren't rushing or stressing over anything.[/quote]

Saying no is a wonderful thing.  You do not need to be in charge of everything.  If something doesn't get done, oh well, life goes on.  If someone wants really wants something done they can do it themselves. [/quote]
Absolutely this.

I love my spreadsheet but the real key is do less, say no. Long ago when I was in a similar frame of mind I asked an older friend who was so serene and who had kids that were turning out really well, “What am I doing wrong? I’m miserable and tired and I don’t know what more I can do.” And she told me to start saying no, and say it a lot. My reflexive response was, well I can’t say no because X won’t get done. OH WELL! You are really not doing yourself or your kids any favors by doing everything all the time. Eliminate some stuff. Rest more. Paint. Walk. [/quote]
