Trapped in the Toolbox

We live in a world flooded with information about how to do practically everything. Pick your project: losing weight, gaining muscle, cutting debt, getting rich, minimizing distraction, increasing productivity, etc. Whatever your goal may be, there’s an infinite number of useful tools to help you get there. And this leads to a peculiar problem—it is easy to become trapped in the toolbox. Rather than getting dirty and using the tools, you can easily spend your time researching, thinking, and getting ready to do the work. 

This week, I invite you to ask: 

Where in my life am I trapped in the toolbox? If I could pick just one tool to use, which one would it be? What concrete time and place will I commit to putting this tool into action?

God bless,
Dan 

P.S. This article is based on a concept introduced to me by an incredible mentor, Henry Kutarna, founder of the Catholic CEO. I invite you to check out his content. Thank you, Henry!
