Have you ever set a goal and then gotten a burst of energy or been so excited about taking on some new challenge that you set another goal, and another? Before you know it, you're feeling overwhelmed, your free time is non-existent and you realize that you haven't actually gotten much headway on anything; or that you're still paying for a subscription for that meditation app that you haven't used in 2 months and that you haven't actually sat on the stationary bike in weeks.
This is what usually happens to a lot of women after the excitement of New Year's resolutions where off and you realize your goals like losing weight, learning how to crochet, reading every night to your kids, and joining that virtual book club are nice ideas, but unrealistic. It doesn't even have to be a New Year's thing; it can happen at any time during the year where you get the urge to set a bunch of goals.
Loving the sense of accomplishment when you set and achieve a goal is great, but the problem is when just setting one goal at a time isn't enough; when you feel a sense of urgency and impatience with yourself, your career, or anything else in your life. Not only do you wind up spreading yourself too thin, but you also decrease your ability to succeed at your goals.
This week on The CPA MOMS Podcast I discuss the importance of constraint and how to use it to achieve whatever goals you have both personally and professionally.
