Hey all! I'm in the midst of a Time Coaching certification and one of the things that I'm learning about is looking at Time as an asset that you invest. One of the super interesting concepts is to slow down and look at the Cost Benefit Analysis from a longer timeframe. You basically look at it from your future self. So for example, if you are procrastinating something over and over again because you don't feel like it, what effect are you having on your future self? I do this a lot and for me it's time debt which then causes me overwhelm. I'm making a focused effort to catch myself kicking things down the road and just knocking them out. I'm feeling much more freedom in my schedule! What do you think about this? Have you ever put things in the context of your future self?

My thoughts on overachieving

Here’s a really interesting article on the correlation between “performing” and burnout. What strikes you? https://www.leravi.org/perfectionist-burnout-silent-audition-psychology-18279/

Hey all! Jorie and I have been doing book reviews with each other every week for quite a while and we wanted to let you in on the party. We are starting The Let Them Theory this week. Here’s how this works. We read a chapter a week and post what we learned or found interesting and if there’s anything we are going to try and incorporate. It doesn’t matter when you post. Just use this thread and put the chapter number first and then your thoughts. I love this format. Not only do you learn from the book, but you also get to see everyone else’s thoughts and ideas. It’s a win win! When we get close to the end, I will post a poll for the next book!

Hi, my name is Holly and I tend to overcommit lol. Do you do this too? If I had to pick one behavior that overachievers all do, it would be this one. There’s a whole list of reasons why people do this. For me, it’s generally because I don’t consider what I have already committed to because I think I can handle it and if I’m being honest it gives me a hit of hero juice. Then the day comes to do the thing and I’m really not happy with myself. Overcommitting is a huge time management problem for me. I’m learning to slow down and ask myself some questions: Is this something I really want to do? Why? Does this align with my current goals? How? By saying yes to this, what am I saying no to? Am I ok with that? Is overcommitting a problem for you? Why do you think you do it?
