“How can I do it all?” might be the wrong question.

Instead, let’s start asking -

What is growing this week and what is coasting this week?

I’m in a season where I’m trying to balance writing a book, speaking business, work travel, friends’ bachelorette parties, a relationship, and a very demanding puppy.

There is pressure to perfectly give 100% to everything all the time.

But trying to make everything perfectly equal can lead to a perfect disaster of burnout.

—

When we look at our Life Pie - family, friends, work, Yellow, health, etc. - the pieces don’t have to be equal every week.

They can shift and change.

Maybe this week -

The focus needs to be on growing work because there is an important presentation that requires some extra hours
While maybe health coasts with 2 workouts instead 4

Maybe next week -

The focus is your Yellow because you’re hosting a community event
While work coasts and still solid, but you aren’t doing the extra things you usually do to go above and beyond

Coasting doesn’t mean you’re failing or you’re saying something is no longer on your Life Pie priorities.

Coasting is making 1 piece smaller temporarily so you can grow another.

Because growing one thing well beats burning out trying to grow it all.

As you go into this week:

What is growing?
What is coasting?

And own the answer.
