Be curious.
Is it externals?
Is it stuff?
Is it in your control and agency?
How important is it to you?
How does it add meaningful satisfaction to 'who you are'?
Why does it matter?
Who will go with you?
How will you get there?

Lead yourself well.

What is truly important is not usually even remotely time sensitive.

What have you decided is truly important?
Hold old were you when you made that/those decisions?
How often have you double-clicked on those decisions to ensure they are still reflecting your values and a meaningful work with a life that works?

It's not too late to notice and name what is truly important to YOU.
It's not too late to notice and name that the agendas, quotas, expectations of others have blurred into your list of 'truly important'.

(Process. Sit with it. Be curious. Suspend judgement).
