You will learn... - why it’s so hard to motivate yourself - the difference between urgency and importance, and why you must prioritize the latter) - how to replace FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) with JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) Remember: accepting that we are finite creatures with infinite possibilities liberates us to do what we really want to.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Mary's Cup of Tea podcast. I'm your host, Mary Jilkovsky. I'm an author, speaker, and all-around self-love advocate. And this is the podcast that will inspire you to love yourself.
0:19.0	Hello, my self-lovers. Welcome to another solo episode on the Mary's Cup of Tea podcast. Today, I wanted to
0:27.2	continue the conversation we were having last week in episode 124, where we talked about how to
0:34.9	overcome the fear of failure.
0:44.5	Hopefully, once you listen to that, you're a little bit more ready to go after your goals and your dreams,
0:47.7	and you're just feeling a little bit more inspired.
0:57.2	So today, I wanted to record a fairly short, well, we'll see how this goes because you know short in my book means long tangents, but I will try to keep it short. And today is going to be a big idea
1:05.6	that will hopefully help you see goal setting and goal achievement a little bit differently.
1:13.3	This big idea is technically called the Eisenhower Matrix. And this Eisenhower Matrix
1:21.3	sounds a lot fancier than it actually is, although it is pretty life-changing. But it helps us see the difference

1:53.8	It feels like, I don't know, how are you ever going to get there? Maybe the timeline just feels
1:59.8	too long and you're like, I don't want to waste my life,
2:03.5	or it feels like everybody's already doing it and they're so much more successful. So why should I
2:09.3	even try? And when you have a big, big goal, a big dream, all these little tasks can feel
2:17.1	really overwhelming. So what do we do? We just
2:20.6	don't do anything at all. At least I don't. I just kind of get crippled by that fear and it demotivates me.
2:30.5	It makes me feel like what's even the point? So what happens instead is that I look at my to-do list
2:37.6	and I start crossing things off my to-do list hoping that crossing shit off is going to somehow
2:44.3	motivate me, right? It's going to make me feel better, more accomplished. And it kind of does. I think that
