Setting goals is easy for high achievers. 

The challenge lies in achieving them—on your ideal timeline—without burning out. 

In this episode, I explore the pitfalls of setting ambitious targets without proper planning and how this can lead to burnout and panic-driven decisions, especially as deadlines approach.

Drawing from experiences with my K to R Essentials students, I dive into the importance of being intentional with your goals, understanding your long-term vision (your North Star), and avoiding the trap of "magical thinking."
