Do any of your goals conflict with each other? A classic example of this is the work-life balance dilemma where you have the following two goals:
Goal 1: Spend more quality time with my spouse and family.
Goal 2: Get promoted two levels within the next year.
Obviously, both of these goals require a substantial amount of the same resource: your time. Knowing that forgetting about sleeping and spending 12 hours per day with your family and 12 hours per day at work is unrealistic, you’ll quickly find yourself frustrated. And you’d have plenty of company as there are probably thousands of so-called experts who make their living preaching about work-life balance. I’ll give you my short course and this one’s on the house.
