If you know you want to change something in your life but don't know how to narrow it down to something achievable and something you care about.
Then this tip may well be just what you need.
I don't know about you but if I try and take on too many tasks I end up overwhelmed and dropping balls I don't want to drop. Leading to me feeling useless and not making any progress on anything.
Then 6 months later wondering why nothing has changed!
The technique I am about to share helped me out a lot.
To paraphrase what the great Warren Buffett once said:
"Write down all the goals you want to work on. Then circle the top 5 and forget about the rest"
Taking this approach has allowed me to feel
- less overwhelmed
- in control
- confident
- greater clarity
- excited
I don't know about you but feeling less overwhelmed and feeling excited about my goals is a much more fun place to be!
If the number 5 feels too much then narrow it down further, maybe its 3, maybe its just 1. Whatever your number is that's the sweet spot.
Give it a try and see if it helps.
It will likely feel hard at first, but that's the point. If it was super easy then everyone would be doing it!
If you are struggling for time then this insight around treating your time like a slice of pizza will help. Click here to read
HEY, I’M DAN…
I know how exhausting and overwhelming it can be to work full time in a job that doesn't fulfill you. Then to arrive home sad and mentally exhausted.
Your kids really excited because daddy is home! and they want to tell you all about their day and play with you.
But you are so beaten down that you just can't give them the same excitement, or your full attention. Your mind is full of doubts and fears.
As hard as it may feel right now, there is a path from where you are today to becoming the dad who arrives home feeling fulfilled instead of frustrated.
I know because I have been where you are, and I can show you the way.
As a dad, husband, full time employee and a certified coach, I have helped dads just like you to identify careers that allow them to wake up excited to make a difference, to arrive home ready for toys and tantrums, and to go to your kids sports games fully present and enjoying it.
