146 Overcoming Shiny-Object Syndrome

About this episode

This episode discusses managing shiny-object syndrome and the challenge of pursuing too many opportunities.

You can do anything you want to do but you can't do everything you want to do. Shiny-object Syndrome is the urge to chase and engage things that get your attention. The problem is, there are too many opportunities, too many shiny objects, more interesting and compelling things than we have time or resources to chase. In this episode we talk about managing our shiny-object syndrome. Notes and resources for this episode: https://calibrate360.com/146
