Speaking from first and third-hand experience, I've found that people who are super motivated and hustle hard for their own goals think meditation and gratitude exercises are the key to alleviating the stress in their lives. The key to relieving those stressors is working less and reducing the number of goals you have. There is something bad that happens when you stack up so many lofty goals at the start of the year and slowly start to not meet them. >I'm back working for an employer full time until my SaaS projects can pay the bills. I remember a time in my life when I had launched my saas and had good consulting gigs but had to back burner them and take a full-time job. The weight of "failing" with my saas and consulting and taking a job was a lot more devastating than I thought.

Just focus on one. I'm just trying to help. Your post sounds like what I was thinking back in 2015 and I've been a lot happier and fulfilled with fewer goals.
