Your current Life Task...

What is your current Life Task?

I'm not talking about your next big vision.

I'm not talking about your vocation or whatever your deem your calling to be.

I'm talking about the actual, tangible TASK that Life has placed on the platter in front of you while smiling expectantly, waiting for you to dig in.

I'm borrowing this phrase from Oliver Burkeman's "Meditations for Mortals." Burkeman points out that we often get lost in the weeds of our expectations, visions and big fat hairy goals... meanwhile, our Life Task is staring us in the face.

This refreshing take on "what should I be focusing on right now?" is like a healing balm to my overachiever's heart.

Maybe it's finding a new doctor you trust, or upleveling your investment strategy, or spending more time with an ailing parent, or doubling down on becoming a more patient mother, or seeking a neurodivergent role model, or finding a new approach to the stickiest spots in your marriage.

Whatever your current Life Task is, know this:

It's not hard to find, and it won't always be your Life Task. 

This season, right now, is inviting you to belly up.

As we look down the winding fire-horse path at the final quarter of 2026, I hope this proves a helpful contemplation.

We're not too late.

We're not doing it wrong.

We are precisely, exactly on time for our current Life Task.
