2.  Thou shalt not try to be all things to all people.

3.  Thou shalt leave things undone that ought to be done.

4.  Thou shalt not spread thyself too thin.

5.  Thou shalt learn to say “no”.

6.  Thou shalt schedule time for thyself, and for thy supportive  network.

7.  Thou shalt switch off and do nothing regularly.
