Describe a situation when you didn_t have enough time

I’m going to tell you about a time I was overwhelmed. I was doing extra hours at work for a co-worker who was ill, so I already had plenty on my plate. To add to this, my friend asked me to help her out with an online project of hers, which required a lot of time, energy, and research. Let me give you more details. So, this was just the other week, actually, in my hometown. She’s been a longtime friend of mine, so I really wanted to give her a hand, but I simply couldn’t manage it. It was a very time-sensitive project, so I didn’t want to accept it, then later give up. However, she pushed me into it, so I ended up doing what I could of it. The thing that really bugged me was that she made it seem like it would be a simple activity, but it required me to do research online for several hours, not to mention then writing out documents for about six hours each.

There were four separate assignments. So, in the end, I did one assignment part, and then sent it back to her and told her she will have to make other arrangements. I usually work about 40 hours a week. However, it was over 50 with my extra hours that week, so I simply just didn’t have much time to spare. Actually, I don’t think it would have been possible to add another 24 hours of work onto that week. Furthermore, I have to be energetic at my job to be able to effectively sell new products, so I definitely cannot neglect my sleep schedule. All in all, it was just an inconvenient time.
