The number of tasks required to run a project or a business is overwhelming.
It’s easy to carry the overwhelm and think that as long as we keep running, we’ll be fine. But in the end, we are not.
It’s devastating. And so unfair. You said.
The change we seek to make is never done by burying ourselves in the tasks, and running (no matter how fast) with overwhelm.
Despite all the noise and things that should get done, there should be a clear focus and steady pace front and center that you carry all the time.
When that’s not the case, return to the change you seek to make. Over and over.
It’s possible that you need to hone in on the change that inspires you to stay focused.
Without it, all we are left with is the overwhelm.
