Sometimes I Feel Like I am Sprinting in Quicksand

Hey Everyone. Have you ever had the experience where you have so much to do or have so much that you want to accomplish that you cannot make tangible progress on anything you are working on? This is where I am at right now and it sucks!

I have so many things that interest me that I am either currently pursuing or want to pursue: writing a book, publishing my own info products, offline consulting, creating membership sites, building 100s of autoblogs, being a professional singer in a foreign country, building a public speaking career, weight training to obtain the body of my dreams, dating/love life, time with friends, obtaining business credit, starting a travel company, outsourcing my business, obtaining my Tefl Certification, having an online store, modeling, writing more blog posts, starting a new risque’ blog, planning my next international trip, monetizing my blog and very specific HUGE monetary goals…

I think you get the picture. Right now, I literally feel as if I am sprinting in quicksand and the quicksand is pressing in on my chest and suffocating me! This feeling really sucks! Multitasking does not work!!! Combine all this with the fact that I suffer from S.O.S. (shiny object syndrome) and you can see why I’m feeling this way.

I know I need to prioritize and work on one project at a time, but that is easier said than done when I have the spector of making money to fuel my travel passion/obsession, eating and paying rent on an apartment in Austin that I’m never in. I’ve made the decision to hit a very large income target quickly and while my
current endeavors financially support me now, I’m ready to live a life that is truly “out of this world” and I want to do it now! Patience is not a strong suit, lol. There are shortcuts I could take in hitting my financial goal, but I’m choosing not to pursue them for personal reasons. Gotta do this on my own.

After talking to very insightful friends this weekend, I have narrowed my focus down to 3 things that I am passionate about and will get the most financial bang for my time invested quickly. I’m close to removing one of those items as I am still feeling that sinking quicksand feeling as I am typing this post.

Anyway, I just had to vent and get this off my chest. No pun intended, lol. I actually do feel a little better. Thanks for listening.
