Why Your To-Do List Keeps Missing Your Actual Goal

Why this episode matters

• You're picking today's work from your to-do list, so the easy wins get done and the goal work slides to tomorrow.
• Your brain picks the safe task because it costs less energy, and I've got a graveyard of planners, Trello boards and Notion systems to prove it.
• The kit takes you from your one big goal to the projects, to this month's project, to the one task to do today, with prompts that do the breaking down with you.
• You do one thing every day that moves your goal, and you can see on your brain dump which tasks count and which are just busy.

Inside The Big Goal Kit
