#111: Honest vs "Realistic" Self-expectations

11 Jul 2024

Description

Where do the expectations you set for "what you should be able to do" in a day or week or month come from? I bring news!  If you've:  Been overscheduling yourself lately Or crossing off 1/10th of your To Do List every day for the past year Or find yourself constantly disappointed in today's performance because "back in the day" you could do things faster ...Or worse: Sheryl over there is coping just fine, so why are you struggling?... You might be suffering from "Realistic Expectation Syndrome," which is a condition I just made up but is completely real. Too often, we idealize our capacity and capability to the point that our plans (and To Do Lists) would only be achievable by 6-armed superhumans who don't require sleep. Be honest: How many times have you looked at tomorrow's jam-packed schedule and said, "Well, if I focused enough or had the right energy, I should realistically be able to do all this"...?  That right there is why today, we're differentiating "realistic" from HONEST.  In the episode, I explain why adopting the latter perspective will not, as you fear, doom you to utter failure and ruin ā€” and why it is, in fact, the KEY to being able to ramp up your productivity and focus when you need to!     LINKS! NEW! Decision Mastery Week is coming! Are you in?  What's your DECISION STYLE? Take the Quiz! Need to say NO? Here's your 11-minute Crash Course on Saying NO Guilt-Free.
