Why Tackling Multiple Goals Concurrently Can Cause Failure

Doing two things at once seems so clever, so #efficient, so modern. And yet what it often means is doing two things not very well.
-Carl Honoré

#Newyear, new #goals! I understand you might have a ton of goals listed out, waiting to strike them off one by one, but chill your horses my friend 🐎

Though there might be people who claim they can #multitask and achieve soooo much. Well, that might be true, but usually it is more applicable for minor tasks.
Eg: Reading the newspaper while brushing your teeth.

If you have BIG goals you wanna achieve and you want to make them happen all at ONCE, you just might be setting yourself up for disappointment.
(Sorry to burst your bubble!)

To increase your chances of hitting those goals you have on your list, here’s what you can do:

1 💡KNOW WHICH YOU WANT TO #PRIORITIZE
It is okay to first focus on 1-2 #biggoals, accompanied by several other small ones.

KIV the rest of your big goals. Pursue them after your 1-2 big goals are accomplished.

2 💡SET REALISTIC #TIME FRAMES
We’re human and we can tend to be #impatient. I understand we wish we could attain our goals like yesterday but that ain’t happening.

Whether your goal might need 6 months or 1 year or more, accept it and #plan it out carefully. Better that than beating yourself up when your expected deadline arrives and your goal is only 20% done😫

3 💡IDENTIFY WHAT YOU CAN OUTSOURCE
Why take on all the #stress on your own? Not saying you aren’t capable of doing it all on your own, but sharing the workload gets more done in a shorter period of time 😉

If you have friends or family to help you, have courage to #askforhelp.

If you can afford a freelancer to assist you with your #project, go for it!

4 💡STAY #AGILE TO #CHANGE
As you pursue your goal, unexpected CHANGES may just pop up along the way and throw you off guard.
Don’t be #disheartened. It is really normal.

Assess the “damage”, see what you can salvage, analyze what changes you might need to make to your #gameplan, then get back on track and #keepgoing!

Cheering you on,
Trish
