When it comes to goals and to-do lists, the unrealistic expectations we often have lead to feelings of inadequacy and overwhelm. Whether you want to set a goal for the new year or achieve a task this weekend, today’s guest, Goli Kalkhoran, shares why we often overreach and how to set practical and fulfilling goals that lead to success instead of shame. Here’s what we cover:

• How it's possible to change your mindset so you feel good about yourself no matter what you achieve in a day
• An exercise to illuminate the unreasonable nature of the level of productivity we often expect from ourselves
• Why the perceptions of other people heavily factor into the unrealistic goals of people-pleasers
• The idea of “time optimism” and how we use it to punish ourselves by ignoring the context of what is actually going on in our lives
• Why focusing on only one goal for the year is an effective strategy
• How to choose just one goal by using an exercise to examine areas of insufficiency in your life and asking yourself “What's the rush?”

I can’t wait for you to listen.
