👇🏻In academia this is very common. People feel flattered or obliged when they are asked to be part of a project, give a talk, write a chapter ... What is often not part of the thought process is their own wellbeing. Why do so many academics ignore that they are the most important person for themself?

The nicest thing you can do if asked to review a paper to say yes (and do the review). But a very very close second is to say no as quickly as possible and to suggest another person or two who might say yes.
