Have you ever thought about how much time most of us spend on the internet, or watching TV, and suddenly felt guilty that you haven’t written your memoir, doubled your income, revealed your 8 pack abs, and are still not interested in prepping food for the week on Sunday nights?

I’ll never get it all done. Why can’t I be more like so-and-so? Should I be making banana bread? I must not be doing enough.

The fact that we’ll probably never get it all done is true, too, unless you set a low bar. As we age and grow we find new interests, hobbies, and goals, and our priorities change.
