Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’m chasing a dozen things I want to change all at once, so my effort gets spread paper-thin and everything stalls half-finished
- Every January I set these big goals for the year and then coast for months because the finish line is so far off it isn’t real
- I never actually stop to look back at how the week went before barreling into the next, so the same drift quietly compounds week after week
- I have a big goal but no idea what to actually do about it this week, so my days fill up with whatever lands in front of me and the goal just sits there, never broken down into anything I can pick up today.
- My budget works fine until the insurance bill or the car registration lands and blows the whole month apart
