WEEK 8: FEELING OVERWHELMED? HOW TO FOCUS ON WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS
Eight weeks into PROJECT 98.9, Leigh is 6.7kg down and still hitting 89% of his standards. But this week, the biggest challenge wasn’t food or the scales. It was overwhelm. After a massive weekend, family commitments, work and a growing list of things to do, Leigh found himself having one of the worst days he’s had in a long time. The more he tried to get done, the less he actually achieved.
This week, Leigh and Sharkie unpack what happens when life gets too noisy — and why sometimes the answer isn’t doing more, but slowing down long enough to work out what actually matters.
In this episode:
- Why overwhelm can leave you completely stuck
- The problem with creating unrealistic expectations for yourself
- Why “being time” has become one of Leigh’s most important standards
- How systems can simplify your decisions when life gets busy
- Focusing your attention on what matters most
- Protecting your own wellbeing before trying to look after everyone else
- Why Leigh believes his standards now need to rise
- Simplifying his environment to make those standards easier to hit
Leigh checks in at 124.8kg — 6.7kg down since starting the project.
Sometimes you don’t need to fit more into your life. You need to get clearer on what deserves your attention. Follow PROJECT 98.9 as Leigh and Sharkie document the 36-week journey to 98.9 — and everything they uncover along the way.
