❓[03-19] How do I find time to decide on opportunities when everything feels overwhelming?

Jacob Wells: I feel overwhelmed juggling freelance work, interviews, and glued to my computer with no time to decide what opportunities are right for me if I get offers.

  • Stop assuming you have no time and ask how you’re choosing to spend it, because your priorities reveal what you actually want and what you’re avoiding.
  • Be clear on the things that you want, what you don’t want, and who you want to become so you’ll know what to prioritize.
  • Flip the question from “what does this cost me” to “what is it costing me not to do this” and uncover hidden losses like anxiety, lack of focus, and lost creative energy.
  • Get away from your space and take a 30-minute walk, and see what comes up. Great ideas and epiphanies might come out.
  • Decide the role you want to play in your work, whether problem solver, button pusher, or hybrid, so you can filter opportunities.
  • Your work doesn't have to be your calling. Your work can fuel your calling.
