When volunteer groups procrastinate due to unspoken capacity issues

Our volunteer committee keeps putting off making decisions about next year's event and I can see that we're all overwhelmed by our regular lives but no one wants to be the one to say they can't handle the commitment. We're procrastinating because admitting our limits feels like letting the group down.

What we've seen

People sacrifice honesty about their limitations to preserve an illusion of collective capability.
