I’ve felt a bit overwhelmed lately. I haven’t been any busier than usual but I was spending too much time on minutiae and not enough time on important goals. Once I recognized I was out of balance, I eliminated and/or readjusted my time commitments. Though I’m still busy, I’m a lot more enthusiastic now and have more energy to commit to the goals most important to me.
Thinking about the last few days reminded me of the following quote from the great John Wooden. Hope it helps as you start your week.
“We should not confuse activity with achievement.”
John Wooden (1910-2010), winner of ten national championships while coach of the UCLA men’s basketball team, widely considered to be the greatest coach in American sports history.
