ATG 297 | Why Your To-Do List Will Always Beat Your Calendar (And What to Do About It)

from All It Takes Is A Goal · host Jon Acuff

Your to do list is bursting and it feels impossible to figure out what matters most. Here's the truth: your imagination is bigger than your calendar, so it will always feel that way. In this episode, I'm kicking off a brand new four part series on prioritization, starting with a powerful tool from my book Soundtracks, a good question is a trojan horse for truth. I'll walk you through the first of four questions that will help you sort through everything on your plate, starting with "Is there a promise?" You'll learn about what I call Verbal Reality, why saying "let's grab coffee sometime" without following up can quietly break trust, and how keeping your promises, even small ones, takes practice. If you feel overwhelmed by your to do list, this episode gives you a real tool to start clearing the chaos.Episode Links:Order Procrastination Proof!Book Jon to speak at your event!Come to Stage & Page!
