To keep your expectations in check, hone in on the task at hand rather than obsessing over the big picture. Taking things as they come — instead of mulling over every item on your to-do list and wondering how you’ll possibly get it all done — will help you set more attainable goals for yourself. “Getting wrapped up in the end game will result in a lack of focus and energy for the task at hand,” Guttman says. Whether you’re taking on a lengthy project at work or are trying to clean your house, break up your task into manageable chunks, and stay present as you work on them. Most importantly, don’t think about what you need to get done tomorrow while you’re working on what you have to get done today.
