Description
Send Carlene a text or voicemail
Have you ever ended a week knowing your dream didn't move — and you're not even sure why? You weren't scrolling all day. You weren't being careless. You were handling real things for real people. And somehow the thing that matters most to you got buried under all of it.
That's what Rory Vaden calls priority dilution, and it's the one type of procrastination most of us never see coming. In this episode, I'm breaking down all three types of procrastination from his book Take the Stairs, then going deep on the one that's most likely getting in your way right now. I'll also share the inbox metaphor that shifted how I think about my own attention, and four steps I'm using to protect my dreams without guilt.
3 Key Takeaways From This Episode:
1️⃣ The realization that every interruption felt reasonable in the moment, and that’s exactly what makes this so hard to see.
2️⃣ You get to choose your focus and deliberately put your dream at the top.
3️⃣ Permission to protect your dream time without having to earn it, announce it, or justify it to anyone.
