169: Too Many Ideas, Not Enough Time: How to Decide What to Work on Next
Every day in business and life, we make hundreds of decisions, both big and small. If you’ve ever wondered how to choose what truly matters when everything feels important, this episode is for you. I’m unpacking exactly how I make choices in my business and life from a place of clarity, confidence, and alignment (without burnout or guilt).
Today’s episode was inspired by an audience question about how to decide what to say yes to when so many things feel worthy of our attention. I walk through the internal process I use, from defining priorities and identifying seasons to journaling, praying, and even sleeping on decisions before choosing. I share personal stories about opportunities I passed on because they weren’t aligned with where I was going or the season I was in, and how those choices shaped who I’m becoming.
In this Episode:
- Explore a framework for choosing what truly matters
- Hear questions to ask yourself before saying yes
- A mindset shift that removes perfection and replaces it with direction
