WW #417 - Which rabbit are you chasing?

Updated: Mar 13




In today's fast-paced world, we've been sold the idea that multitasking is not only possible but necessary for success. However, study after study has proven that our brains are simply not wired to handle multiple tasks effectively at the same time.


Instead, what we actually do is partial tasking—constantly switching between tasks without fully engaging in any of them.


This may seem like a small issue when it comes to simple or routine tasks, but the real problem arises when this habit creeps into the more significant areas of our lives. Whether in business, relationships, or personal growth, our tendency to chase multiple priorities at once leaves us exhausted and unfulfilled.


A great analogy for this is the saying: “If you chase two rabbits, you will not catch either.” The same principle applies to our daily lives—spreading our attention too thin means we make little to no meaningful progress. Instead, the key to success is choosing one "rabbit" (goal) at a time and focusing completely on it before moving on to the next.

By making focus a priority, you’ll not only increase your productivity but also experience a sense of accomplishment. Instead of feeling drained from chasing too many things at once, you’ll find yourself moving steadily toward your most important goals.


Action Step: Choose Your Rabbit

What’s the one thing you need to focus on right now? Identify it, commit to it, and watch how much more you achieve.
