In this episode, Bill and Marty talk about how having too many meaningful projects can create a “log jam” that leads to overwhelm, stress, and sudden quitting. Using Martin’s seven projects as an example, they walk through a coaching process to get clear on the goal, spot what’s causing the backlog, measure progress, and make a realistic plan. They use the urgent/important matrix, factor in deadlines and inspiration, and show how calendar time-blocking and firm cutoff dates can help restore balance and reflect the “True You.”Chapters:00:00 Choosing What Matters00:40 Podcast Welcome Banter02:25 Too Many Projects03:34 The Log Jam Trap05:37 Coaching Objective Setup08:06 Clarifying the Gap09:55 From Problem to Plan13:00 Live Coaching Example17:38 Urgent vs Important Matrix19:50 Time Blocking the Calendar21:29 Deadlines and Priorities24:47 Podcast Guest Invite25:18 Planning The Program27:20 Time Blocking In Calendar29:35 Urgent Versus Important34:07 Vendor Deadline Decision37:03 Audiobook Sprint Weekend38:27 Only Do What You Want41:42 Protecting Important Time43:40 Coaching Process Review47:33 True You Connection49:49 Wrap Up And FarewellLinks and Resources:• Parts Work Guidebook - https://partsworkguidebook.com• True You Podcast Facebook Page -https://www.facebook.com/trueyoupodcast• True You Podcast Instagram Page -https://www.instagram.com/trueyou.podcast• Would you like to be a guest on the True You Podcast? - https://calendly.com/listeningisthekey• Internal Family Systems -https://ifs-institute.com/• Compassionate Results Coaching -https://www.compassionateresultscoaching.com/• Bill’s book, ‘Compassionate Results Guidebook’ - https://compassionateresultsguidebook.com• ‘Listening is the Key', Dr. Kettelhut’s website -https://www.listeningisthekey.com/• Marty’s new book, ‘Leadership as Relation’ -https://amzn.to/3KKkCZO• Marty’s earlier book, ‘Listen… Till You Disappear’ -https://amzn.to/3XmoiZd• Parts Work Practice - Free IFS Practice Group Sessions -https://www.partsworkpractice.com• Contact Marty [email protected]• Contact Bill [email protected]
