When you step back for a moment, you can probably see how easy it can be to become discouraged by all there is to do. Make a decision that it’s okay to do just do your best and accept that it’s a battle that ultimately can’t be won.

The best you can hope to do is stay on top of things, prioritize what’s truly important, and maintain a sense of humor. In short, you can only do what you can do. Coming to the realization that it is an irrefutable fact of life that you will never be able to get everything done is not a defeatist attitude. It’s simply an acknowledgment of the truth.

So, starting today, give yourself a break. Do what you can and don’t beat yourself up. You’ll be much happier as a result.

Question everything, move forward, enjoy the journey.
