I have no idea why everything takes more time than I can plan for nowadays?
Am I tired?
No.
Am I undertaking too much?
Yes.
I just accepted two small but additional tasks today, considering that they will strengthen my professional skills. I was happy in the morning to have them. Yet, I turned resentful in the evening – only because I could not finish what I was planning to do today. Today, rather than my own work, for 6 hours I helped a team member of mine do and finish their work…. As a result, I am late to take care of some critical jobs of mine and opportunities.
There are lessons to be learnt for me from this (recurring) experience. I kinda know what I must do (say “no” and let others be responsible for their work), but am hesitant to do it knowing that if they cannot do it right or on time today, I will have to fix a bigger problem in the future.
Goodness help me.
Life as I interpret it 
I don’t know all the circumstances here, but it seems to me there is a logical flaw in supposing that you are responsible for fixing their problem.

that is the problem of being responsible for the work overall. I am happy to help and teach/train, but…. I just need to learn to say no to protect my own time I guess

It’s tricky, isn’t it. You probably know how the work should be done and it seems easiest to pitch in. But, as you say, you time is precious, too.
