too many options and struggle to focus

aurelis

I have so many things I want to do. So many ideas and so many dreams. And naturally I can’t do it all. And I keep trying to convince myself that I can do it all. And then I burnout because I can’t. And I struggle with boundaries because I’m trying to juggle everything. I want to help many people, but I want to progress with my music career, but I have so many things I want to do, and I don’t feel like I’ve made much progress because I’m doing too much.

it makes me feel like a failure, and I want to prove that I’m not a failure. I keep convincing myself I can get up super early in the morning so I set my alarm for 5am every morning and always snooze it. And do the same thing the next day. I try to do this so I can be as productive as possible, or so I tell myself.

i lack routine, and so everything feels everywhere. I am a freelancer, so it feels hard to balance things properly, and keep in a consistent thread. I’m afraid that I’ll be stuck like this, and I’ll never grow properly.

  • it sounds to me like you have a lot of ambition and need some organization or scheduling.  Have you tried a calendar or organization book?  Maybe taking a day to plan out the week ahead?  Or, if you’re not good at organizing or creating routine for yourself, maybe ask someone to help you with it?

    You mentioned wanting to help many people…I know it’s hard to say no, but sometimes you have to say no.  You can’t be everything to everybody.  You’ll just burn yourself out.  You have to take of yourself or you won’t be able to help anyone.  

    that’s just my thoughts.  
    take care
