Episode #77 How to Plan and Achieve Your Goals Without Feeling Overwhelmed or Burned Out
In this episode of The Art and Science of Thriving, I tackle one of the biggest challenges we all face: planning and achieving meaningful goals without burning out.
I share the most common mistakes people make when setting goals—like taking on too much, neglecting brain health, and failing to pace themselves—and explain how these missteps can lead to overwhelm and fatigue. I’ll also walk you through five key principles for sustainable goal achievement, including how to connect your goals to your "why," focus on just 2-3 priorities, and break goals into manageable chunks.
Plus, I’ve included a practical, evidence-based 4-step goal-planning template that you can start using right away to set yourself up for success in 2025.
Whether you're juggling work and personal responsibilities or striving to grow in your career, I’ve packed this episode with strategies to help you thrive.
