The Zen philosophy of being detached from outcome may be difficult to attain when you have very real goals.
The next best thing can be change your expectations – or perhaps your perspective!
For instance:
- A full week getaway on a tropical beach is not looking possible, so rethink it to 2 weekends away at a lovely local resort
- Working out five days a week isn’t happening. Three days a week with a good buddy is entirely possible!
- Repainting the kitchen by the end ofthe month.: Possible; hire someone!
- Posting three times a day on all social media while moving forward on projects. Not possible. Get real help or an app that helps.
- Lose ten pounds this month. How about five?
- Hire a coach and/or enroll in an online course to up productivity. Doable! Just do it:):

I like the philosophy of chunking down projects to where they are doable. It truly helps with not getting even close to overwhelm.
This is so true, Ali.
