Ambitious people like us always have too much to do.

I don’t even want to post a picture of my to-do list because it’s…insane. It’s long, is what I’m telling you, and honestly, these past few weeks it’s kind of been kicking my ass.

I’m behind, struggling to catch up, and I’m trying to execute on so many things that I’ve been dropping the ball on some of them.

Things are still going okay, but what I’m saying is that I don’t live some perfect dream life where I work only two hours a day, everything magically gets done and then I just sit around reading books and lifting weights.

I’ve let a great many people down this week, and I’ve been feeling a tad bit overwhelmed.

So what I did (what I’m doing) is taking massive action to change my situation and get back in control. Back on top where I belong. Where we all belong.

I’m going to tell you exactly what I’ve been doing that’s helped immensely when it comes to overwhelm, but a recent book I’ve been reading has been enlightening here as well.

It’s a biography of Michelangelo, by Miles Unger, and it’s…incredible.
