I know I'm spread too thin when I have no down time. If all of my time is focused on the next task and the next task and the task after that, to the exclusion of being able to get my own things done (like cleaning house, or doing laundry), or getting to do things I want to do (painting or sewing), then I am way over committed.
To get out of it, I start saying "No" to things, even fun things, just so that my calendar doesn't fill me with dread. Then I do something artistic for myself.
