If we’re failing, at least we’ll realize something needs to change. To me, this is actually worse than failing. If we try to simultaneously do 20 things, we probably won’t fail at all of them, but we’ll probably not succeed either, stuck in a purgatory of mediocrity. In other words, focus on fewer things, and do a better job of them. It proved just as useful to me now as it was then. Once I realized what had happened, I decided I need to reset, and turned back to Essentialism, by Greg McKeown, a book I read back in 2015. I was pretty overwhelmed myself this year, as I tried to decide how to mold my new life in Denver. Freedom of choice is a great thing to have, but when the internet makes us painfully aware of every awesome choice we’re not currently making, it’s easy to try doing it all and end up overwhelmed. In today’s world, it’s hard to know what we’re supposed to be doing.
