I so appreciate this post, Michelle, and can't believe I hadn't seen it until today. Thanks so much for sharing it on Twitter.
I want to applaud you for actually starting the life project exercise and finishing it with the really X'ing out process. Most people don't -- but they also don't feel the freedom from letting all the noise go so they can focus on what matters most.
Turns out, Michelle was a doer the whole time. By doing less, you became a finisher.
I too have had my (un)fair share of piling on too many projects and getting frustrated that nothing ever seems to finish. I've gotten better to prioritising work that brings in the moolah, and parking all my other nice-to-haves.
Can't say that it's a bulletproof system just yet, but I've come a long way and have less days of feeling like I'm running around like a headless chicken.
As a fellow member of WOP and a very busy dad, I truly commend your ability to say no to so much and be clear on your priorities. You've convinced me to get the book too (despite quite a long list of other books to be read). If your writing inspires, and calls to action truly lead to action, then you're a doer and a writer. Loved this piece and your candor is refreshing. Would love to connect about the podcast world. I have been an avid consumer but only a limited creator in that space.

Way.To.Freaking.Go!
I SO resonate with this, Michelle.

Congratulations! All the best with Malayalam, it sounds fun.
Oh man I've had this book on my shelf for like a year and now you've inspired me to actually read it LOL

Forwarded this to my friend who thinks he’s not a doer
What a great method to find out what your priorities are at that given time. Your effort is admirable, well done!
Very nice, Michelle. The book really intrigues me and I already clicked on the buy now button on amazon. Thank you :)
