Pick One.

TL;DR: too many goals = not much progress. Identify a lead goal.


You want to launch that business.

You want to run a marathon.

You want to give a Ted Talk.

You want to learn French. And go to France. And travel more!


All good goals.


Here’s the deal: if you have multiple high-priority goals, you actually have zero. When we spread our energy across lots of life-changing ambitions, overwhelm sets in. We don’t know where to start, so we burn energy and time thinking about starting (and perfecting) instead of actually moving.


How do I know?

Your Lead Goal

If you want to make real progress over the next 90 days (which is April...wtf), you have to stop throwing spaghetti at a wall with your ambitions.


You need a lead goal.


How to Choose Your “One”

Look at your list of big goals and choose the one with the greatest leverage.


Ask yourself this one question:

If I focused exclusively on just ONE of my goals for the next 90 days, which one would create the biggest positive impact in my life and maybe make the others easier?


That’s your lead goal.


For example:

Focusing on financial stability for 90 days - getting debt under control, building a cushion, creating clarity of needs vs wants - the stress removed may give the mental space to finally tackle the other goals next season.



Why 90 Days?

Long enough to see real, measurable progress

Short enough to stay focused without burning out

Think of it as a season, and you can do almost anything for one season

You’re not choosing forever.

You’re choosing right now.


Will you be “done” in 90 days? Probably not.

Will you be significantly further along than if you tried to do this plus everything else? Absolutely.


Progress loves focus.


If you’re open to it…

Take 10 quiet minutes this week to write down all the goals swirling in your head. Then circle just one you’re willing to give your full attention to for the next 90 days. Not forever. Just this season. Writing it down and saying it out loud is often the first step toward making it happen.
