Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Every year I pile new goals on top of an already-overloaded life and wonder why none of them stick
• No matter how hard I grind, the list never clears
• I throw myself at a dozen unrelated things and a few years later I’ve got nothing to show for any of them
• There are so many half-formed goals and someday-projects rattling around in my head that I can’t even see them clearly
• I’m chasing a dozen goals at once and none of them are moving, because I’m spread so thin nothing builds momentum
