Their logic, which ignores the reality of trade-offs, is I can do both. The rather important problem is that this logic is false. Inevitably, they are late to the meeting, they miss one or both of their deadlines (or do a shoddy job on both projects), and they either don’t make it to their cousin’s celebration or miss the show. The reality is, saying yes to any opportunity by definition requires saying no to several others.
I can do both. False.
