Energy and effort going in too many different directions.

The feeling of being spread too thin. This is due in part to the "have it all - do it all" mentality of our age. We live in an age of ever-expanding possibility which is very exciting.

At the same time, the ready availability of infinite possibility often makes it very difficult to decide what direction is best.

The pace of potentially life-altering decisions is significantly greater than ever before - much more than we are accustomed to.

Even twenty years ago, the number of options for jobs, travel, learning, connections to people etc. was such that these major decisions came along at a much slower pace.

Now, you could turn on your computer in the morning and be faced with the opportunity to go to Bermuda for a week to do Yoga for $179 if you are willing to leave tomorrow morning.

The only solution to being scattered is a very clear map of what is most meaningful in your life right now. This becomes a powerful filtering mechanism. Every potential action must pass the "is this meaningful to me right now" test- will this new possibility serve me?

By the way, having fun and enjoying life fully can be among your most meaningful things!
Yes, we can do a lot, but not all at once! So, you have to choose.
