Finding the Throughline with Kate Hanley [Your Thorny Qs, Answered]: How Can I Stop Spinning My Wheels?, Ep. 1009
Ever felt like you’re running as fast as you can, but you’re still not getting anywhere?
That’s how a listener named Nicole was feeling. She wrote:
“At the end of every day I feel like even though I was busy all day, I didn’t do anything that’s getting me any closer to my goals. After going to meetings, running errands, making dinner, walking the dog, answering emails–I’m wiped out but don’t feel like I really have any progress to show for my efforts. Sometimes I find myself wondering, how do I stop spinning my wheels?”
I talk Nicole through a little audit where you answer 8 questions about what’s going on in your life right now. Those questions are:
- What am I enjoying the most right now?
- What am I enjoying the least?
- What feels really gratifying right now?
- What feels like a waste of energy?
- When I think about my life over the next year or so, what excites me?
- When I think about life over the next year or so, what weighs me down?
- Is there something I need to keep in mind about this particular point in time?
- Is there something that would really help at this particular point in time?
At the end of the day, it’s up to each of us to stay focused on what matters to us. I hope these questions help you do just that.
