Have you ever felt like your plan isn't working? Think about it; you set a goal, but every time you turn around your attention and resources are being diverted from the task at hand.
Do you feel stuck? Keep reading if this sounds familiar. You just got home from work, but before you can decompress you have a literal laundry list of things to do. Some of these tasks should have been done the other day, but you didn't have time. Have you ever sat down on the couch at 8:30pm and 20 minutes later it was 11 o'clock?
If any of this describes your life, you are not a statistical outlier. You are exactly like the majority of us. Life is pulling you in so many directions that you feel swamped. Sometimes, our biggest accomplishment in a day is just surviving it.
The two questions I started with are rooted in how we feel about our situation. That's great news. We can be our harshest critic. What we feel about our situation and the reality of our situation can be two completely different things. We only have so much time at our disposal, so we shouldn't use it beating ourselves up. You are probably doing better than you give yourself credit for.
Most of us don't have enough time to accomplish everything we want when we want. There will always be something pulling our attention away from our goals. This is what life is. If you can close your eyes knowing you are doing the best you can: sleep easy. A good night's sleep feels better than restlessly doubting yourself. Either way, the laundry will be waiting on you in the morning.
