Productivity - your future self

When planning, I can overload what is possible.

It comes from a good place.

However, the trap I can fall into is thinking that my future self might somehow get additional powers to make stuff happen.

Yes, I need to keep working at being effective; however, on the assumption that I will broadly be working with what I already have, I need to remind myself to manage expectations and the reality I find myself in.

It’s a shift in mindset that I continue to practice.

When I get it right, it feels spot on.

What do you use to help manage the expectation versus reality gap?
