In this episode, we lay out a simple framework to help you think more strategically about your goals—not just what you're aiming for, but where you're focusing your energy. We introduce six key areas of life that most goals tend to fall into and share how reflecting on these can unlock more balance, motivation, and meaning. With a few practical questions and a concept called the “carryover effect,” we’ll help you spot where your next shift should happen and how one change can ripple across the rest of your life.
