We like crossing things off our lists of tasks, ticking the box.
When we cross off things on our lists, we get a brief sense of calm and freedom. And that’s the problem. It’s brief. As soon as we complete one thing there is always more to do.
Read how that’s actually a good thing here. And instead of despair, go for the real sense of calm and freedom that comes from
- knowing you will never be done,
- knowing you can ride atop the waves of tasks in work and life, and
- deciding from amongst all that you could do what you will do, now.
To your continued success,
Mike
