One of my mentors asked told me this, and now, I live by it. I do have to keep myself in check on a regular basis though. 💥
For me, taking on a new project is FUN. No expectations, exciting new challenges, let’s go for it and see what happens!
The “newness” can be appealing but it’s not always what you NEED in that moment.
A new project is one more ball in the air, requiring more energy and more focus to try to keep them all in motion....and you only so much energy to give! When you keep throwing balls in the air, you’re bound to drop a few....⚽️🏀🥎
If you’re like me, try this :
✅ write down your top 3-5 goals, ambitions, priorities.
✅when a new SOMETHING comes along (project, challenge, person) ask yourself...is the juice worth the squeeze? 🧃does it help you reach those top 3-5 goals? Does it fall into your main priorities?
and if the answer is no, time to take a pass. And that is OK. Saying no to something that is outside your priorities is saying YES to the things you truly care about.
You got this. 🧃🧃🧃
