You are not lazy, you are overwhelmed
Laziness is a myth. Overwhelm is the real enemy. Do you know why you feel tired, even on days when you donāt get much done? Itās not laziness. Itās because your energy is spread in too many directions. Every unfinished task drains you. Every competing priority scatters your focus. Every āyesā to the small things becomes a ānoā to what really matters. And often, we escape into the trivial: āļø Working on less important tasks. āļø Tackling other priorities that feel āsafe.ā āļø Staying busyāwhile quietly avoiding the Big Thing And then the guilt sets in. You end the day frustrated, wondering why you canāt āget it together.ā But hereās the truthā That doesnāt mean youāre lazy. It means youāre overwhelmed. Yes, some roles do require paying attention to many things. Leaders, entrepreneurs, executivesāyou canāt escape complexity. But even in complex roles, clarity is everything. You can juggle many responsibilities⦠as long as one Big Thing sets the direction. It becomes the anchor. The filter. The guide for where your energy goes first. Thatās how you move from overwhelm to momentum. When you channel your effort into the Big Thing: ā”ļø Your energy returns. ā”ļø Progress feels lighter. ā”ļø Work becomes meaningful again. Hereās what Iāve learned: Big changes donāt happen when we chase everything. They happen when we choose one thing, go deep, and donāt stop until you achieve it. So let me ask youā š What is the most important goal for you right now? š Whatās your Big Thing? All of our Big Things look different. But the common denominator is this: It matters to you more than anything else. Stop escaping into the small. Start acting on the Big Thing. The cure for overwhelm isnāt doing more. Itās focusing on what matters most. ___________
