March’s Focus: What’s Actually Getting in Your Way?

We talk a lot about doing our best work. But what about the things that quietly make it harder?

There’s the project sitting at almost-done that you keep not finishing. The focus block that evaporates before you’ve gotten anywhere. The day when you’ve checked everything off your list and still feel, by the end of it, as if nothing important moved.

Some of what looks like wasted time isn’t waste at all — the walk where the idea finally arrives, the afternoon that looked unproductive but gave you exactly what you needed to move forward. We are not robots, and we shouldn’t try to be.

But there’s a real difference between the space that restores you and the friction that just drains you. This month, we’re looking at the latter: the patterns that keep showing up, the places where you lose momentum, not because the work is hard but because something keeps snagging you on the way to it.

We’ll explore:

  • Where you’re spending energy on motion that isn’t actually moving your projects forward

  • When “getting it right” tips into overprocessing, and what it costs you

  • How to clear the friction that’s making your best work harder to reach, without stripping out the space that makes it possible

Bring questions about: Projects that have been stuck longer than they should be, the difference between productive stepping back and stalling, getting to “good enough” when perfectionism is the drag point, and how to set yourself up for a strong Q2 without grinding through the end of Q1.
