When I feel good and ambitious, I can come up with a dozen goals and think I can work on all of them.

Can you relate to that?

  • “I want to get in better shape.”

  • “I should start a new business!”

  • “Let’s travel more!”

  • “I want to learn a new language.”

  • “Maybe I should finally write that book.”

All good ideas.

The thing is, you can’t realistically do everything at the same time. And this is something we all know deep down.

But somehow we keep falling for the same mistake of always trying to do more, more, more.

You can pursue a lot of these goals over your lifetime, but each one needs more attention than whatever time you happen to have left.

And choosing is hard because you genuinely want all these things. Delaying one can feel like giving up on it. So you keep trying to fit everything in, even when you can see that it isn’t working.

In this guide, I’ll show you how to decide what needs your attention first, reduce the work around it, and plan a week you can actually follow. We’ll also look at how to tell whether your priorities are producing better results.
