I think one of the major things missing from this post is that if you are going to drop a ball, you should communicate you are dropping it to the relevant stakeholders / family / friends / etc. That generally lessens the blow of dropping it significantly in my experience.
Typically there are three throws per second. Communication latency to stakeholders is too low while juggling to achieve desired goal.

What does matter is reputation though. If you have promised to do something than communication becomes a glass ball if you want to be "a man of your word". Have a good reputation is important, but exactly what good reputation means to everyone is different and that is okay.

Life only rarely goes perfectly to plan. You will have to change plans at the last minute because of emergencies, but planning to do nothing just in case there is an emergency is a bad plan. Your boss will ask you to work late. Your kids will get sick. You will get invited to a last minute event. It is likely that you will be involved in two different activities that schedule an event at the same time. All of these are a sign of a fulfilling life, not of a problem.
