It’s one thing to acknowledge that you’re busy — it’s another to do something about it.
Most of us know we are doing too much, but if we don’t take the time to prune our responsibilities, we will forever be seeking success without ever being able to enjoy it.
In this week’s episode of The 5 AM Miracle Podcast I speak with Tanya Dalton, author of On Purpose, about what it takes to get unstuck, how to fix the problem of being too busy, and how we always have the power of choice in any situation.
